Imagine an HFA teenager helping a younger child win a certain level on a video game. Imagine two children, who normally wouldn't want to socialize, excitedly exchanging GameBoy tips.
Parents of children who have not succeeded in organized sports or other activities before find this is one arena where their children shine. Even a child who chooses to simply side play with the other children is still having fun! The kids enjoy the games and the potluck food, and the adults find friendships and understanding while sharing information about their children with one another.
Cost:
A donation of $5 per family is requested to offset monthly fees for use of the space.
Activities:
Video games such as Wii, X-Box 360, Game Cube, Nintendo 64, Playstation, Supernintendo, SEGA and other favorites are projected on the walls using InFocus projectors (this is ultra cool!). Gameboy, Pokemon and Board Games are also available
Special Thanks:
to InFocus Corporation in Wilsonville and West Linn Lutheran Church. Without your support, Game Night would not be possible!!
