Village of Meyerland’s event benefits Alzheimer’ s Associatio­n

-

The Village of Meyerland hosted Boogie on the Bayou, an annual community event, and raised a total of just over $10,000 for the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n. Locally owned and managed by Retirement Center Management, The Village of Meyerland has been dedicated in raising funds for The Alzheimer’s Associatio­n since 2014.

Boogie on the Bayou was held on Oct. 26, at the Village of Meyerland and included community built scarecrows and wreaths as well as a live auction. Anthony Ormsbee, the executive director of The Village of Meyerland, showed off his auctioneer skills by selling a six-night stay at a Disney World Resort (donated by Lisa Ramsey of Empire Industries LLC), Houston Rockets tickets (donated by Family Tree In-Home Care), and a variety of other generously donated items to the highest bidders. All proceeds raised will benefit the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n for care, support and research. David Streusand, chief financial officer for the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n, said, “It was a wonderful event. The Alzheimer’s Associatio­n is thrilled to have RCMas one of their community partners.”

The Village of Meyerland will continue its efforts in supporting the Alzheimer’s Associatio­n by participat­ing in the Mem- ory Walk on Nov. 19. If you are interested in donating or walking, contact Robyn Clement at 713-665-4141 for more informatio­n. Visit www.villageofm­eyerland.com or call 713-665-4141.
