Held on the third Thursday of each month, Memory Cafés provide a safe place for those experiencing memory loss and their care partners to socialize and have fun with others in similar situations.
During these informal gatherings we’ll start with a familiar song and a “get to know you” question. Followed by a presentation or activity with a simple craft, game, or shared reading to spark memories and conversations. Then we’ll close the program with another short singalong.
At each Café there will be a table with free resources and giveaways, along with books to check out. Snacks, tea, and coffee will be served.
First time attendees please email Susan at [email protected] or call (815) 756-9568 ext. 2114 and give names of care partner and guest.
At the June meeting of Memory Café, the activity will be music provided by The BlueBelles who perform music from the golden era of American songwriting, the 1920s to the 1960s. Standing the test of time, these popular and enduring tunes were often composed for Broadway theater and Hollywood musical film. The trio features Jen Conley (baritone ukulele/vocals), Sue Klopfenstein (concert ukulele), and Sophia Varcados (U-Bass).
