2017 FALL FRIENDSHIP CAMPAIGN
by Memory Care Life
Natasha Boissier
Dear friends and colleagues,
I am fundraising on behalf of Memory Care Cafe and their mission to raise $10,000 before the beginning of the new year. Memory Care Cafe is an organization dear to my heart and vital to relieving the suffering of so many who live with Alzheimer's disease and their families. Amidst the presents you buy, the gifts you receive, and the traveling you do during this wonderful time, please consider donating to Memory Care Cafe as well.
Memory Care Cafe is one of the few, free community programs that offers support to caregivers and persons with early-stage dementia with activities and events they can enjoy together. Aside from getting out, being part of this group offers much-needed social connection with friends who understand and support each other. There is NO other service of this sort in the Bay Area and its continued success will be possible with your help!
THANK you so much for your generosity!
All the best,
Natasha

The café is not a brick and mortar shop. It is a social event that takes place on Tuesday mornings in public spaces—primarily restaurants, bocce courts, museums and parks. Memory Care Café now has regular gatherings in three counties—San Francisco, Marin and the East Bay—and many participants travel cross-
