Connections Café

Connections Café is a monthly program in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association for individuals living with early-stage Alzheimer’s or dementia. Programs vary each month but usually include a short meeting with updates from the Alzheimer’s Association, a tour of a Museum exhibition, and a hands-on activity time in the classroom.

Connections Café meets the second Thursday of each month at 2:00 p.m. Admission is free for all participants and caregivers.

Connections Café is generously sponsored by The Barbara Stone Foundation, Dabo's All In Team Foundation, and South Carolina Humanities.
