Membership Benefits
"I was bragging to my sister recently about everything going on at MSAC (she lives in Philly), and she was jealous. MSAC truly is a gem in our community, and we are so fortunate.”

About MSAC
We are a lively place to gather for classes, to engage with others, to share a meal-and we are re-opening for some in-person programs this summer after a long pandemic closing that put most online! We offer a wide variety of events, activities and programs relating to health, arts, travel, crafts, recreation, and education.
