MELROSE — Melrose Arts and Crafts Society is celebrating their 120 anniversary this year at the Melrose Arts and Crafts Society annual crafts fair on Saturday, November 8, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 pm. at The First Congregational church, 121 West Foster St.
You are cordially invited.
The Society was started in 1903 by Mrs. Sterling, wife of the rector of the Trinity Episcopal
Church on West Emerson St. In 1905 a constitution was drawn up and the “Tudor Rose” was adopted as the Society’s seal.
In honor of the group’s 120th, Cathy Cormier and members designed and hand embroidered squares representing outreach projects, friendship, and what the Society means to them.
Please come and see all the different exhibit items our members have lovingly made. Visit our sales, past class and raffle tables, along with the teddy bear and outreach tables. Don’t miss our treasure room, baked goods table, and the demonstrations throughout the day. After please sit and enjoy a complimentary cup of tea, coffee and goodies.
Any questions please ask any of our members about the Society and membership. They would love to have you drop in and visit at any of their monthly meetings. All are welcome.
Melrose Arts and Crafts Society is a non-profit organization, supported in part by a grant from the Melrose Cultural Council.
If you are interested in sharing your love of crafts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our membership chairperson Carol Butt at 781-729-7527.
