Memory Cafe

for all

A Memory Cafe is a free social gathering for people living with

changes in their memory or thinking and the people who care

about them. Memory Cafes focus on people, not medical

conditions. No one is asked if they have a diagnosis. We invite

you to join in community and to enjoy some music or other

activity, some food and friendly informal visiting.

Monday November 10, 2025

11-12:30

Wendell Community and Senior Center

2 Lockes Village Rd in Wendell Center

This Café is hosted by the Wendell COA, with support from

Village Neighbors, and the Neighborhood Dementia Support

Group.

Please RSVP to Nancy Spittle at 978 544 6760 so we

have food and seating for all.

For support with memory loss, contact Village Neighbors at

413 345 6894 or email generalinfo@villageneighbors.org.

Volunteering

With 1/3 of our four towns’ populations now over age 60, all VN members are encouraged to actively create ways to support each other and volunteer. As we grow, we will need more VOLUNTEERS of all ages, so please consider becoming a part of the Village Neighbors Team. You can choose to provide direct services or work behind the scenes.
