ONE Webster RPS Tournament

April 18th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

The competition was fierce last night at ONE Webster’s first Rock Paper Scissors Tournament. The true prize was honor, but our winner, Ben Simon, also walked away with a Product (RED) iPod Shuffle. No one left empty handed because we had ONE Campaign tee-shirts for the runner-ups.

Local rapper/producer Blake Symphony hosted and refereed the night while DJ Double B spun some competition music. Poverty can be a depressing subject, but last night proved that it doesn’t have to be. We didn’t talk about AIDS or debt relief, but every participant signed the ONE Declaration and a couple decided to start attending ONE Webster meetings. I think they’ll find that fighting poverty is not depressing. It is an adventure. After all, we decide what the history books will remember our generation for.
