On Friday, September 11th, we ventured to do something radically different at Methuen Village- a Las Vegas Casino Night! The evening was complete with slot machines, roulette, craps, Texas Hold ‘Em, passed hors d’oeurvres, and wine and cheese… all to benefit a cause we are committed to, Alzheimer’s Disease.

The event turned out to be a great success, as we raised $2200! It’s important to note what exactly our donation will fund. The money will be delivered to the Massachusetts/New Hampshire chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association on October 4th, when we partake in the statewide Memory Walk. The Association funds nearly all of the research that is done on prevention, treatment, and a cure for the disease. They also provide much needed education and support for caregivers and family members. With the growing Alzheimer’s epidemic, we feel the work they are doing is vital, and we wish to support them in any way we can.

Posted here are some photos from the evening. I was thrilled to see many of our residents attend. The slot machines were a big hit! (Note: There will be more than 2 next year!!) Family members played poker until the end of the event, and associates volunteered to help out. What a blast! You are all invited to attend next year’s bigger and better casino night!

For anyone wishing to donate to the Alzheimer’s Association, and support our Memory Walk, we accept donations at our reception desk at any time, and we are acknowledging our supporters with a display in the country kitchen.
