Portland Water Bureau Says, "Bring it On!" to Red Cross Blog, Blog-Off Challenge

by jenniferd

As "Blogmistress" to the city's famed Portland Water Bureau, Water Blog , I get a lot of interesting things coming through my office -- but I must say, the most interesting suggestion yet showed up in my inbox last week -- A Blog-Off, presented to the Water Blog by the local Red Cross Blog . Fearing that Water Bureau Administrator David Shaff would laugh me out of his office, I meekly presented this idea to him, because quite frankly, I thought it was pretty durn cool. Much to my delight, he agreed and even liked the idea, blessing me to go forth and blog prosper. So, beginning August 18th, Blog-Off 2008 will ensue between our two blogs. I couldn't be more excited because to be quite honest, we take blogging and The Water Blog pretty seriously around here. Though I do try to keep the Water Blog light, there is some super important information that I post on there. I know that the Red Cross Blog also posts really important stuff -- so it's mandatory for both of our blog

Do You Bunco?

by pearlgirl

At Portland Bunco, there's always room for one more at the table. If you've got bunco fever and want to meet other Portland women who like to roll the dice , this is the group for you! So, what's bunco? Bunco is a dice game played with three dice and two teams per table. Points are accumulated and prizes are awarded. It is an easy game to pick up and with the right group, the evening can be an absolutely hysterical laughfest! How did Portland Bunco get started? Two friends in the Portland area wanted to start playing bunco again after their last group disbanded. They found Meetup.com. What started out as a "let's see what happens" has turned into a supportive, enjoyable and downright funny women's group. Our conversational topics as we play are as varied as our membership and who knows what conversation will be overheard during a bunco game. How do you join? Find out here . Special thanks to Norma Jean for the tip!
