Description
What is ACTive Memories Memory Cafe?
The Memory Cafรฉ is a social gathering that provides a safe, supportive environment for sharing conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. It is an opportunity to visit with others who may be going through similar experiences related to memory loss, Parkinson's, MS, other chronic conditions and caregiving. The programming consists of exercise, snack, and social activity to promote healthy living. The social activity rotates monthly; the themes are music, art, education/extended learning, and reminisce.
Who can attend the Memory Cafรฉ?
People with memory loss, MS, Parkinson's, disabilities of all ages, and other chronic conditions are welcome to attend the Memory Cafรฉ along with their companions.
When and where does it meet?
The Memory Cafรฉ meets the second Friday of each month from 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. We gather in the meeting room at the Marshall Area YMCA, 201 A Street, Marshall, MN. Find the calendar here.
