<a href="https://ridgefieldlibrary.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ridgefield Library</a> has partnered with <a href="https://rvnahealth.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">RVNAhealth</a> to introduce a New! monthly Memory Café, held at the Library and created as a welcoming hour of shared activities, conversation, and connection for individuals living with memory changes and the care partners who support them
Memory Cafés began in Holland in the late 1990s as a simple idea: create a friendly, social setting where people experiencing memory changes and those who care for them could gather, enjoy familiar activities, and spend time together in a relaxed, supportive environment. Today, Memory Cafés are found worldwide and are designed for people living with memory changes and their care partners to enjoy together.
Each Memory Café offers a chance to step away from appointments, schedules, and daily responsibilities and simply enjoy time together. The hour includes a thoughtful mix of easy, enjoyable activities and time to socialize.&nbsp;Our first Café will feature a light, friendly activity to help everyone get acquainted.
A defining part of this partnership is the involvement of <a href="https://rvnahealth.org/news/meet-danielle-taibi-ot-dementia-specialist/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">RVNAhealth Dementia Specialist, Danielle Taibi</a>, who offers a supportive and welcoming environment, focused on enjoyment, connection, and shared activities.
Guests are asked to attend with their care partner, who will stay with them for the full hour.

<h2>27 Governor Street, Ridgefield, CT</h2>
As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop,&nbsp;there’s&nbsp;nothing quite like a warm, hearty bowl of soup to welcome the season. Cozy, nourishing, and endlessly versatile, soups are a delicious way to pack vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into a satisfying meal. 
They’re&nbsp;also the ultimate make-ahead meal; easy to prep, perfect for batch cooking, and wonderfully forgiving. Starting with a flavorful foundation of aromatics, they quickly fill the kitchen with delectable aromas as the pot is brimming with wholesome ingredients. 
Join us for a casual, small-group, cooking adventure where&nbsp;we’ll&nbsp;prepare three to four pots of goodness, each with its own unique flavors and ingredients.&nbsp;We’ll&nbsp;discuss the nutrition benefits and simple ways to&nbsp;modify&nbsp;each recipe for taste preferences and dietary needs.  
It will be a night of cooking and camaraderie as we come together to savor the season! Come hungry as&nbsp;we’ll&nbsp;be eating everything we make. All recipes will be provided. 
Some hands-on, some&nbsp;demo.
