Assisting Hands Boston warmly invites you to our upcoming In-Person Memory Café on Friday, July 10th, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the second Friday in July at JF&CS Headquarters in Waltham.
Join us for an Adventure in Italy– without ever leaving Waltham!
Our upcoming Memory Café offers a supportive and inclusive space for individuals and caregivers to connect, relax, and enjoy time together. This month, we invite you to immerse yourself in the culture of Italy with delicious Italian snacks, lively music, an engaging discussion on Renaissance art, and even a fun indoor game of bocce! Bring along your own travel stories, heritage tales, or favorite memories of Italy.
We also encourage you to bring along something else that brings a smile to your face. Whether you choose to share a favorite poem, a meaningful quote, a joke, a story, or a piece of artwork, sharing these personal moments helps create a warm, engaging, and joyful experience for everyone attending. Come ready to connect, share, and enjoy the smiles!
The Memory Café offers a supportive and inclusive space for individuals and caregivers to connect, relax, and enjoy time together.
