Today is July 6, 2026, and there’s a lot happening at the Melha Shrine Center! If you haven’t been keeping up, you’re in for a treat. This vibrant community is buzzing with events, meetings, and opportunities to engage. Whether you’re a longtime member or just curious about what goes on, there’s something for everyone.
First off, let’s talk about the Melha Shrine Center’s office hours. They’re open on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM. So if you need to drop by, make sure you catch them during those times! But a heads-up: no weekly emails will be sent for the weeks of July 13 and July 20, 2026. Normal communications will resume on July 27, 2026. And don’t expect any last-minute notifications during that time either—from July 7 to July 20, it’s radio silence.
Upcoming Events and Meetings
Mark your calendars! The Melha Stated Meeting is happening on July 22, 2026, at 7:30 PM. This will take place at the Melha Shrine Center located at 89 Park Street, Chicopee, MA 01013. But that’s not all—there’s also a Town Hall Meeting scheduled for August 26, 2026, at 6:30 PM. This event is open to family and friends, but be sure to RSVP by June 22, 2026, if you plan to attend!
For those interested in the outdoors, don’t miss the Ice Fishing in July event on July 26, 2026, from 1 PM to 4 PM. It’s just $50 per person, and that covers your fishing license, lures, and food. Just remember, licenses need to be purchased by July 19, 2026. And if you’re a motorcycle enthusiast, the Melha Riders Annual Motorcycle Run is set for August 16, 2026. Registration kicks off at 10 AM, with the ride starting at noon, followed by an after party that’s open to everyone!
There’s also a lot of club meetings coming up. For instance, the Highlanders will meet on August 3, 2026, at 7:30 PM, while the Riders meet tonight, July 6, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The Drum Corps has their rehearsals on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, so keep an ear out for that if you’re interested. And don’t forget about the Valley Mash Masters gathering on July 17, 2026, at 7:15 PM and the Clowns meeting on July 8, 2026, at the Franklin County Fairgrounds.
Regular Activities
Every Tuesday morning, the Coffee Klatch gathers at 8 AM at the Melha Shrine Center—a great way to start the day with friends and community! And for the golfers out there, the Melha Golf League opened its season on March 27, 2026, with league play beginning on April 10, 2026. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the sport while connecting with fellow members!
Don’t forget to check in on Melha Sunshine, a great resource for uplifting support during tough times. If you know someone who could use a little encouragement, reach out via email or phone. It’s a comforting reminder that we’re all in this together.
Looking ahead, the Imperial Session 2026 is set to take place in Tampa, Florida, from July 10 to July 16, 2026. If you’re planning to go, be prepared to pay $1,975 per room (double occupancy), with payments due by July 1, 2026.
And if you’re into music and community support, consider participating in the Concert for Shriners Children’s New England on September 19, 2026. It’s a wonderful opportunity to combine fun with philanthropy!
