Assisting Hands Boston warmly invites you to our upcoming In-Person Memory Café on Friday, August 7th, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the first Friday in August a​​t JF&CS Headquarters in Waltham.

Join us for an Afternoon of Dance and Movement – No Experience Needed!

Get ready to move to some irresistible music! We are thrilled to welcome dance and movement therapist Donna Newman-Bluestein, who will guide us in moving either in our seats or on our feet. Remember: if you have a heartbeat, you have rhythm! Absolutely no prior experience is necessary to join in the fun.

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.

Check out the full invitation here.

We look forward to seeing you and sharing this imaginative and heartwarming experience together.
