Million Minute Family Challenge
The Million Minute Family Challenge™ is a grassroots effort encouraging interaction and communication among family and friends through playing board games. The goal is to encourage at least 1,000 families, groups or organizations in each of the 50 states to play a board game together for 20 minutes. That’s 1,000,000 minutes! Game-play minutes can be logged at www.millionminute.com from September 1 through December 31, 2005. Help spread the word, get tips on planning a game night and learn the benefits and fun of board games by contacting Beth at 800-524-4263 ext. 249 or bethm@patchproducts.com
