Happy New Year everyone,
Looking forward to getting it done in 2015!
Big thanks to all of the volunteers and sponsors in 2014 who helped make our 32 ReBuildUp events for approximately 500 participants possible. Special nod to sponsors Summit Credit Union and Greensboro Municipal Credit Union who sponsored several events throughout the year. Greensboro Public Library was also a major help by hosting 17 of these 32 events. Click Here for details and pictures of each event.
So again, much appreciation and looking forward to making an impact in 2015!
ReBuildUp will be debuting a new card game for 2-8 players (great for families) that teaches about salesmanship, cost of goods sold, and gross margins in a fun way. It works great as a pre-Economy, Jr. game and with a few extra card decks, you can have a tournament with up to 32 players at a time.
Teens in Greensboro are invited to come out and play on Tuesdays January 13th through 27th at Greensboro Library’s Glenwood, McGirt-Horton, and Hemphill branches. Visit our Events page for specific dates and times.
In late January/early February 2015 we plan on releasing an updated version of Economy, Jr. that will include the following additions:
– Player Orientation Video
– Credit Card Monthly Payment Store for Customer Players
– Business Licenses for Merchant Players
– One more addition in the works.
Contact us if you’re interesting in pre-ordering the new kit.
Thanks again for your support!
