Memory Cafés are specifically created for older adults experiencing memory changes, along with their caregivers. While we love kids, youth under 18 are not allowed.
Step into a serene hall filled with soothing light and sound. Unleash your creativity through crafting while indulging in delightful snacks that nourish your body. Enrich your mindfulness journey with a wonderful blend of relaxation, creativity, and joy.
All Memory Café events are 100% free for participants.
Please register in advance for the Memory Café.
