Wickson Dist. Library launches new Memory Cafe Jan. 28

  The Frankenmuth Wickson District Library has announced the launch of its first-ever Memory Cafe, a welcoming space designed for individuals experiencing memory changes and their care partners. The inaugural event will take place Wednesday, January 28 at 10am in the library’s Community Room.

  What is a Memory Cafe?
A Memory Cafe is a social gathering that provides a safe, supportive environment for people living with dementia, Alzheimer’s or other memory challenges and their caregivers.   These cafes offer opportunities to connect, share experiences and enjoy activities that spark creativity and conversation.

  Benefits of Memory Cafes: Social Engagement: Reduces isolation and fosters meaningful connections.

  Creative Activities: Stimulates the mind through hands-on projects and themed events.

  Supportive Environment: Encourages interaction in a judgment-free space.

  Caregiver Connection: Provides a chance for caregivers to relax and network.

  The Memory Cafe will be held the last Wednesday of each month at 10am at the Frankenmuth Wickson District Library Community Room. This month’s theme will be Winter Wonderland where you can create your own sock snowman, a fun, easy craft perfect for the season. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

  This program is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
