The next Montpelier Memory Cafe is happening on Saturday, February 14th, and will feature a Valentine theme with our very special guest, Geof Hewitt, resident of Calais, Vermont, past winner of the Vermont Poetry Slam competition, and author of The Perfect Heart:Selected and New Poems (Mayapple Press, 2010) The Cafe is from 10 AM to 11:30 AM at MSAC; participants are encouraged to bring their favorite love poem to share. Pictures of themselves with sweethearts, loved ones, best friends, grandchildren or others will be used to prompt "Loving Memories", and songs of love will be featured as well.
The Café is a monthly social gathering (the second Saturday morning of each month) where people in early to mid-stage memory loss disorders, and their care partners, can come together to connect and support one another in a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere. Participants enjoy social time and food, as well as activities and exercise. These may include art, music, dance and movement. (Please note that the Memory Café is not a drop-off or adult day care center. Each participant is expected to be accompanied by a care partner.)
