Jazz Not War

The Memory Cafe is available the second Friday of every month. This month, it will be April 14, at Hollywood Senior Center, 1820 NE 40th Ave, Portland, from 12:30 to 2 pm. People suffering from dementia, Alzheimers or memory loss and their families are welcome.

The Lushan Honeysuckle (Lonicera modesta var. lushanensis), is our highlight! This beautiful plant is deciduous, meaning it sheds its leaves annually.

It also has a Chinese nickname— #忍冬 , which means “endure the winter” for its beautiful tubular white flowers that run the length of its vine-like branches during the winter. Come smell the sweet and fresh fragrance that these flowers are notable for!

On this day in 1965, a young Joni Anderson performed at The Penny Farthing in Toronto, Ontario.
