Dynomite Methuenites bowling team 2011

The “Dynomite Methuenites,” Methuen Village’s wii bowling team, played in the National Senior League Wii Bowling Tournament this month. 
 
The team made the championship bracket of the NSL Spring season.  The total pin count had them come in as one of the top ten teams after 3rd place finishers!  The Dynomite Methuenites competed in the championship tournament but  lost 3-2. 
Methuen Village is proud of our bowling team.  One of the team’s players, Mr. Albert Kelso, will soon be featured in Time Magazine.  We will keep you posted on the details!

Over the past 15 years, Memory Ride has raised over $2.3 million for the Alzheimer’s Association’s research grant programs. Team Methuen Village will be joining hundreds of riders from across the country at the 2011 Memory Ride on Saturday, July 23rd, in cycling 100 miles to find a cure. Our five-rider team will take the 100 mile challenge to support all of our residents, families, and associates who attempt to conquer this devastating disease everyday. Every dollar donated goes to research so that one day we can find a cure. Each rider on Team Methuen Village carries the spirit and hope of the residents in our Compass Memory Support Neighborhood(R). We ride so that one day we will end this disease, and together we are part of that journey.

The ride starts long before the morning our team lines up on the starting line. Our fundraising goal is high but not impossible. We need to raise $3300 dollars for the cure. Will you help us? Donate by stopping in at the Methuen Village reception desk, or by visiting the event webpage at http://www.alzmass.org/memoryride/.  Thank you for your support!
