June 2015 Girton Memory Cafe - St Vincents Close Community Room

Fri, Jun 5th 2015 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

The Memory Cafe welcomes All. A warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers). Our fifty - second event. Theme - Sunshine and Flowers.


Todays theme was Sunshine and Gardens full of flowers.  We were delighted to welcome Jerry Harrison as guest guitarist and his play list included some lovely Jim Reeves songs and ' In an English Country Garden ' plus a very funny parady on how difficult it is to acheive a beautiful garden.  Our Entertainers sang a lively selection of cheerful old songs including 'You are my Sunshine',' June is Bustin out All over' and 'The Bright Golden Haze'.  Tasty homemade cakes were on offer of course with hot drinks served with a smile ! 

Helpers start at 9am please.

A Memory-Cafe is where there is a warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers), who's new memories may be partial and confusing. The aim is to evoke old memories that are complete and comfortable through, for example, refreshments in china cups, home made cakes, photos and documents from past years, songs and poems and informal talks.

Parking and disabled access easy.

Dial-a-Ride can provide transport - just get in touch with them here.

See you next month Friday 3rd July 2015  !
