At the Making Connections Memory Café, people can relax and just be themselves, knowing that no one judges them and all who are there are going through almost the same things that they go through every day. Each café will offer our guests the chance for unstructured conversation, refreshments, and some enjoyable activities that change from month to month. The goal is to have some fun, get to know others in the community with similar challenges, to enjoy an afternoon with caring people who understand and support those living with memory loss.
