From crafting winter holiday cards and valentines to constructing personalized scrapbooks, Memories to Savor endeavors to spread love and compassion to the elderly community here in the Rogue Valley. As almost 40% of elderly people suffer from some form of memory loss, we as a club have worked to combat the struggles of losing one’s past through student-made projects that celebrate the lives these people have lived. Founded just this year, this club has invited middle and high school students at St. Mary’s to work with the hospice of Celia’s House, Kinsington at Oak Grove Memory Care Facility, and the Manor to bring their residents joy in the beautiful and vibrant lives they’ve lived.
