The Plantation Dynamites is a program funded and operated by
the Plantation Athletic League (P.A.L.) that provides weekly sport and social
activities for the mentally and or physically challenged. All activities
offered by the program are held in the city of Plantation. The program has no
age limit and no city restrictions, meaning those of all ages and residents of
all cities are encouraged and welcomed to join the Dynamites. The program takes
no part in advertising the program, but rely strictly on word of mouth to spread
information about the Dynamites.
The program is lead by its commissioner and director Luz
Marina Sementilli. Sementilli took over the Dynamites a little over 15 years
ago. She started out as the previous commissioners assistant and later took
over as the full time leader of the program. Sementilli’s eldest son was once a
former dynamite many years ago. Today, Luz Marina Sementilli works alongside
her husband and her second son.
