Monthly Memory Café -Brighten Up Your World!

Jewish Family & Children’s Service presents its monthly Memory Café on Thursday, June 6, 2019, at Beth El Congregation, 1118 W. Glendale Avenue in Phoenix, from 10 to 11:30 am. June’s special guest artist is Janina Phinao, who will help everyone create unique centerpieces for their own.

Janina is the Activity Coordinator at Belmont Village in Scottsdale.  She works directly with the residents helping to keep their lives filled with a wide variety of meaningful creative opportunities.  “I love getting to know people,” Janina states, “and making sure they have a fun, purposeful life style.”

JFCS will provide all the necessary materials to create a centerpiece specifically for 4th of July or more generally for summer.  Participants are welcome to bring in elements such as artificial flowers or personal items to incorporate as well.

The Café is a meeting place for those with changes in their thinking or memory, mild cognitive impairment or dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder, along with their care partners.  It is a place to socialize, relax, meet others and have fun through an arts activity.  Coffee and snacks are provided.

This month’s café is sponsored in part by 24 Hour Home Care, working throughout the Valley to provide excellence in in-home care.  www.24hrcares.com

There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. The Café is open to people of all backgrounds. To register or for further information, please e-mail Kathy.rood@jfcsaz.org or call Kathy at 602-452-4627.

Additional funding for the Memory Café comes from the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Phoenix and the Arizona Commission on the Arts, with space donated by Beth El Congregation.
