Memory Cafés are for those experiencing early stage dementia, mild memory loss or cognitive impairment, and for family and friends of those affected. It’s a great opportunity for lively discussions, information gathering, refreshments, camaraderie, and lots of creative fun thrown in! We have a gerontology professional on hand to answer questions and an enormous wealth of experience among participants to be shared. We’d be delighted if you would join us!

Sponsored by the Fox Valley Memory Project, Neenah Library, and Valley VNA.

This program was made possible by the Friends of the Neenah Library and the Neenah Public Library Trust Fund. Donations to the Friends and the Trust Fund are always accepted and appreciated.

Seeing film from early Neenah really brings history to life! Join the Neenah Historical Society in the Shattuck Room for a special night of viewing some of the amazing film footage from Neenah dating from the 1920s to the 1960s that has recently been digitized for us by our friends at the Menasha Historical Society. From Amelia Earhart arriving at the train station on the Island in 1935 to a Neenah-Menasha football game from the 1930s, to Doty Park in the 40s and 50s, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to view these one of a kind videos!
