Where's the Toast?! Memory Cafe March 18, 2026

Where's the Toast?! Memory Cafe March 18, 2026
Where's the Toast?! Memory
Cafe March 18, 2026
Good morning,

On behalf of the Franklin Senior Center, we would like to extend an invitation to our March 18th Where's the Toast?! Memory Cafe.

Memory cafés offer a safe, judgment-free space to connect, socialize, and enjoy meaningful activities together, emphasizing companionship, creativity, and shared experiences. For individuals living with dementia, memory cafés help reduce isolation and foster a sense of belonging. For caregivers, they provide encouragement, understanding, and the chance to connect with others who truly support them.

Whether you come for conversation, laughter, music, or simply to be among supportive community members, you are welcome just as you are.

We hope you'll join us and be part of a community built on connection, dignity, and joy.  Please RSVP to Amanda Rabbitt at arabbitt@franklinma.gov so we are ready to welcome you to the program!


--Sincerely,

Amanda Rabbitt


Supportive Day Program and 

Special Project Coordinator

Tax Work Off Liaison
