Virginia Bartholomew (Ginny) had been a teacher at The Memory Tree since 2011, sharing her love of Shakespeare and her talents as an actor and singer with our program. She gave us many gifts. She brought the words of Shakespeare to life, inspiring us all to keep learning, sharing her enthusiasm and love of the theater with us. The group members loved her classes, feeling energized and focused from the acting techniques she taught them and used in their everyday lives. Ginny had a special way of knowing how best to connect with people, no matter what there obstacles might be. Her joy for teaching radiated through to her students. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity, however short, to have her part of The Memory Tree. Ginny passes away last week after a brief but intense fight with cancer.
The idea behind the program is simple: the potential to create new neural networks is activated each day that we challenge ourselves or learn something new.

Memory Tree gets your brain working in many ways.
We learn about art and we make art!
The class gives insights into the creative process by looking at important works of modern art.
You'll also get "hands-on" with art, trying out paints and sculpture.
From folk, to jazz, to opera, music is an important part of The Memory Tree. Sometimes we're singing along, dancing, or just learning about ways to use music to make our lives richer and happier.
