Phase III
Phase III is an organization whose ultimate goal is to build a Center in Melrose which would provide physical, intellectual, and social opportunities for Melrose area adults. Phase III currently has 227 dues paying members who share this vision. While a new Center is Phase III's ultimate goal, providing physical, intellectual and social activities for adults is already taking place. In the current senior activity room in the basement of the MelroseCityCenter, Phase III is helping to provide more and a greater variety of activities. Senior Strength classes, a Senior Singers group and daytime Lifelong Learning classes offered in conjunction with Community education are attracting great numbers of people.
Phase III will continue to make a great variety of activities available to area adults while at the same time pursuing the goals of a "state of the art" Center with "wellness amenities" which will make Melrose a destination for people seeking the most livable community in Central Minnesota. New members are always welcome-single/couple, $15/$25. Call Bill Meyer or Joe Timmins for more details.
