Through movement, fun, and great music, Maria Skinner will guide us through simple, chair-based exercises that focus on keeping both our bodies and brains agile, vibrant, and thriving. All you need is a stable chair to participate, and you’ll be ready to start your journey to greater brain health.

These virtual get-togethers have been a wonderful way to keep everyone connected, and we look forward to continuing to build our supportive community in this new format until we can meet in person again. Thank you for being part of the JF&CS Memory Café family, and we look forward to seeing you at our next virtual session!

As the cooler weather sets in and we embrace the cozy comforts of winter, the JF&CS Memory Café community remains as connected as ever. While we look forward to resuming in-person gatherings in the spring, we’re keeping the spirit of our Café alive by hosting all of our events virtually via Zoom.

Here’s an update on what’s happening in the meantime:

Thursday Café Chats – On Hold Until Spring

Our monthly Café Chats, which take place on Thursdays, will be taking a break after our December 19th session. These hour-long, informal chats have been a cherished part of our community, but will return in person come spring. In the meantime, we encourage you to take part in our other virtual offerings!

Friday Memory Cafés – Continuing Virtually

Our beloved Friday Memory Café meetings, scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., will continue monthly and are now held virtually on Zoom. These sessions include a guest facilitator, along with opportunities for sharing, connecting, and engaging in activities that promote mental wellness.
