Sebastopol's very own Memory Café! Please join us at Coffee Catz every third Thursday of the month from 3-5pm. This is a monthly two hour drop-in social, no reservations needed. So please join us if you or a loved one is living with dementia, Alzheimer's or is experiencing a slow decline in memory, thinking and/or reasoning skills, to those unable to care for themselves in the later stages of the disease. All family members, care givers and community members are invited to come along to this free social. Beverages and light snacks will be available for sale.

The Memory Café concept was established in Europe in 1997 by the Dutch psychiatrist Dr. Bere Miesen, he described it as "an informal way for patients living with memory conditions, to make contact with each other". Memory Cafés have slowly been popping up around the United States over the past few years providing support and education to their individual communities.
