• Details

  We provide a free monthly Memory Cafe for adults with dementia and their care giver(s). Dinner is served at 4:30 and music is provided from 5:30-6:00. The event is based on the premise that music unlocks memories clouded by dementia. When hearing a familiar song, it's amazing to watch folks who might have lost language, sing along. Our audience is non-denominational and community wide. We're looking for special musicians who can connect with the audience and help spark their memories, even if only for a short time. A half hour musical segment seems to be the best length of time for the audience.
