SuperBetter, $3 Alice, Home Show Winner

SuperBetter.  Our program was a TED Talk by game designer, Jane McGonigal who found herself bedridden and suicidal following a severe concussion and had a fascinating idea for how to get better.  She created a healing game, SuperBetter.  In the TED Talk, McGonigal explains how a game can boost resilience and add 7.5 minutes to ones life.

She describes four kinds of resilience that can help one not only recover from trauma but be stronger from it: physical, mental, emotional and social.  McGonigal believes if we actively practice resilience (she would advocate practicing through gaming) we can be stronger.  Check out the talk at this link  https://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_the_game_that_can_give_you_10_extra_years_of_life?language=en

Pot Draw Winner.  Alice Thompson won the pot draw for the first time.  She walked away $3 richer, only a hair's breadth away from the BIG winning of $30.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner (Really).  New Rotarian Heidi Black drew the winner of the Lulu's $75 gift certificate from the cards submitted during the home show last weekend at Town Toyota Center.  The winners are Ron and Vivian Pfiefte.  Heidi will notify them and invite them to our next meeting to collect the certificate.

Thanks to the PR committee and all who helped staff the Sunrise Rotary booth at the home show.
