Healthy Waltham Food Distribution

Thursday, October 8, 2020 2:15 pm
Our club has committed to delivering to the short list of residents who cannot pick up their distribution.
We meet in the St. Mary's parking lot (enter from Pond St).
Last time we had three bags and a box of cereal for each delivery. Sometimes we are given boxes. Cans and vegetables are heavy, and we recommend delivering in pairs. Three teams can get the job done in a jiffy.
The deliveries go quickly because you can leave the food even if no one answers the door.
Waltham Together
More Than Words is the target organization for donations this week and next. If you would like to get involved with Waltham Together, join the Facebook group or email Emilie Perna at the Waltham Public Schools and ask to be added to the mailing list.

Gameplay
OpinioNation is a quiz game for teams with four quarters of four questions plus three bonus and two final questions--as explained below.
The Rules
Each of the four quarters asks four questions. For each question, you’ll earn 5 points if your team guesses the most popular answer, 4 points for the second-most popular answer, and so on down to 1 point for the 5th most-popular answer.
At the end of quarters 1-3, there is a bonus question that gives you two points for each correct answer guessed by your team.
After the four quarters there are two Final Questions. On the Final Questions, teams are still guessing the most popular answers, but this time the most popular answer earns you 10 points, the second-most popular answer earns 5 points, the third-most popular answer earns 0 points, and anything else causes your team to lose 5 points!
After the Final Question answers are turned in and scored, the team with the most points wins!
Online play
Each team may connect up to six devices and must choose a captain responsible for submitting answers. After the quizmaster asks and repeats a question, teams are sent into separate "breakout" rooms where they are able to talk amongst themselves without other teams listening.
After a couple of minutes, the quizmaster will pull everyone back to the main room, and the team captain will submit an answer. Once all answers are in, the quizmaster will move on to the next question. At the end of the round, the quizmaster will reveal the scored answers.
