In-person JF and CS Memory Café | Nov 2025

Assisting Hands Boston is pleased to invite you to our upcoming In-Person Memory Café on Friday, November 7, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at 1430 Main Street, Waltham.

This month, the JF&CS Memory Café will feature an engaging and creative art session with Art Therapist Erica Curcio. Erica will guide participants through a step-by-step abstract art experience where everyone will create unique pieces using the same materials.

Participants will have the opportunity to make several artworks and leave one behind for the JF&CS Memory Café’s Creative Clothesline. No prior art skills or experience are required, and aprons will be provided to protect clothing.

RSVP:  Call Jessica at 781-693-1257 or [email protected] at least 24 hours in advance to register and get the link.

Free parking available in our lot.
