BEV Bowen was a much loved lady who cared deeply for people with dementia and their families and friends. In memory of this, and also her many years of support for the work of the Alzheimer's Society we are renaming the Monmouth Memory Café in her memory. From July 2011 the Memory Cafe will be officially known as "Bev's Place".

Anyone who knew Bev, professionally or personally, or anyone interested in the work of Alzheimer's Society is warmly invited to attend the Dementia Awareness Week event at which the renaming will take place.

Please come along on Tuesday July 5 at 2pm to the Wye Room of Bridges Community Centre, Wonastow Road, Monmouth, NP25 5AS. Light refreshments will be served.

– Lynda Steiner, dementia support work­er.
