Get ready to hit the road down memory lane!

On April 5th, we’re hosting a special celebration at our Connection Cafe in honor of National Read a Road Map Day, and you’re invited to join us for a nostalgic adventure!

Remember the days before GPS, when unfolding a map was as much a part of the journey as the destination itself? Let’s relive those moments together with a throwback to the “good ole days” of road tripping. While we won’t be setting off on a literal journey, we’ll be diving into the past with rounds of “Road Map” Bingo, where every square holds a cherished memory waiting to be uncovered.

Our Connection Cafes aren’t just about fun and games—they’re about fostering connections, creating new friendships, and strengthening existing bonds. Whether you’re living with dementia or supporting a loved one who is, our welcoming environment provides the perfect opportunity to socialize, laugh, and reminisce in a supportive community.

So mark your calendars for April 5th and join us for a day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a shared love of exploration!
