Hi All
Here’s what’s happening in the coming week. Check out the extras coming up, as highlighted after this note as well as things happening across the city which are at the bottom of this email. As the days get shorter and colder it’s good to have a plan for where you can go to get a good cuppa and company, this could be your usual Memory Café or maybe visit somewhere else if your Café isn’t open this week.
We’re always keen to hear how this email is received and if there’s anything you would like to see included let us know. We don’t intend for this to be a lengthy email each week but bring to your attention what Caraway is hosting and what else might be happening in your area.
With our best wishes,
Ros, Katherine, Dave, Jo & All our Memory Café leads
