A memory cafe is an informal gathering where people in the early stages of memory loss can connect with others in similar situations. Social interaction and enjoyable activities are key elements of every meeting.
Anyone suffering from mild memory loss is welcome to attend with a spouse, other family members and/or caregiver. Current participants come from several communities throughout Kane County.
