Latest News

Listing Updates Summary: July 2022 (Final)

The good news is that many in-person Memory Cafes continue to reopen after a COVID pause. The bad news has been that I’ve been woefully behind for a long time. The best news is that I am now caught up!

(Actually, this is all great news, since it’s great when the information on Memory Cafe Directory is kept up to date!)

Final Update

Now that I am up to date – and pledge to stay that way! – I am no longer planning to send out these updates. If you have any questions about your favorite Memory Cafe, simply visit their entry. If anything is out of date, please have the facilitator get in touch and help me keep things updated.

Thank you all!
