BEAT BOREDOM WITH BOARD GAMES! (A GATT Charity Event)
« on: October 07, 2010, 03:13:52 PM »

Want to make a difference in some children's lives this Christmas? Bring the magic of gaming to their doorstep and help:



WHAT IS IT?

BEAT BOREDOM WITH BOARD GAMES is a charity event, in which we, the gamers, are going to give back to society by donating Board Games to our nearest libraries. We want to encourage the kids to socialise with each other, and what better way to do so than with games?

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

On December 4th, members of GATT will meet at the Port of Spain Children's Library at 11:00AM, and make a formal presentation to whoever's in charge. If you want to help, feel free to come with any board games you want to donate (make sure they're in good condition or new).

If you can't make it at that time, fear not. Just head on over to your nearest library (like Arima or Diego Martin) and donate your board games there! They'll appreciate it very much. (And, if you can, try snapping a photo of yourself making the donation, and post the photos on the forums here: http://www.carigamers.com/)

WHAT GAMES ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?:

We're not picky, but ANY age-appropriate board games would be most welcome. In particular, games such as MONOPOLY, SCRABBLE and CHESS would be beneficial.


WHICH LIBRARIES CAN I DONATE TO?

Any one. We're making the presentation at Port of Spain, but libraries in need of more games include MALONEY, DIEGO MARTIN, SAN JUAN, TUNAPUNA, CHAGUANAS, SANGRE GRANDE and ARIMA. To find out which library is nearest to you, visit NALIS at www.nalis.gov.tt or call 624-4466.


Remember, this is a charity, and we're doing it for the kids. It's up to us to make a difference in their lives, and by giving of ourselves, we'll be giving back to the community. And hey, you never know. The games we bring today may bring about the gamers of tomorrow.

For more information, e-mail at neweraoutlaw@hotmail.com, or call 738-4505.

I like this. and it's cool. I'll definetely keep my eyes on this post. I had a Marvel Comics version of Monopoly at my granny's house. I'll try to look for it. Otherwise I'll buy a new board game. This is cool though.

No problem, betty. See if they can meet up with us on December 4th, just let me know what you're planning to do (and probably PM me your number so we can communicate on the day.)

Sure. Of course, don't forget that the objective here is to give more board games to the libraries out there, so if you have something you can give away that's in good condition, feel free to join us on the day and put up a little somethin'. =)

Nice initiative NEO, I'd actually like to donate a new board game. I haven't bought board games recently and was wondering in your opinion would it be cheaper to buy em locally or just order off amazon? (Not too sure how much customs/duty is on board games..)

It'll be cheaper to get it on Amazon. I don't think customs will go all Nazi on you with duties for the board games, but a general rule of thumb is to multiply the US price by 10 to see how much you'll end up paying for it in the end.

Hey NEO I ordered Scrabble and Monopoly. Will hand em over to you guys for the formal presentation (I have exams during that period)

Noticed several Junior Editions, but I assume the regular versions more suitable?

Junior Editions are okay, but yeah, you're right, the bigger versions are a lot more suitable. Still, whatever you can put up towards the cause, I'll be more than grateful.

Speaking of which, I also got my games here. I'm planning to donate something to the Arima Branch before the big presentation at Port of Spain. Feel free to make your donations to the smaller libraries first (before the big trip to Port of Spain) if you think it'll be easier that way.

We are less than 5 days away from beating boredom with board games! If you wish to join us, feel free! We're going to have a pizza party afterwards at Mario's to celebrate (if you're okay with putting up a little $10 each, that is.)

All righty, folks....today's the day!
My first stop will be the Arima Public Library.
This is what I'll be putting up:




Afterwards, I'll be heading to the Port of Spain library for 11. See you all there!
