Social Networking & Games People Play

Let's just admit it: The Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross is doing some really cool stuff! Not just social networking (which is neat, all by itself!), but Comedy CPR, Singles Night CPR, and hitting neighborhoods affected by disaster with disaster kit supplies, first aid kits, and information. One of their new ventures is a podcast (an on-line radio show) about different Red Cross topics. And, the first show included an interview with Magi Shepley, from our chapter! Magi was asked to talk about different games people might play during a disaster. She shared that Uno has been popular, and she believes she has lost many decks of Uno cards at various disaster sites. Magi also talked about a class project where her students created a version of the popular Fluxx card game with a disaster/weather theme.

Unfortunately, a bit of a disaster cut the interview short when a thunderstorm took out Magi's phone. At least she knew what to do during the storm... Break out the card games, of course!
