I finally started my slides and physical materials for my first-ever Memory Café in September.

Had a very busy but rewarding time @ #ALAAC2025... a marathon of intense sessions that will help build stronger services for our ever changing communities. Apologies as I didn't see many people. @wilmingtonbanjo.bsky.social @sendaulas.bsky.social @petercoyl.bsky.social wish it was more than a wave!
