In a Nutshell

Donations help teens offer companionship & complimentary makeovers to women in Chinese American Service League's adult day-services program

The Fine Print

The Issue: Isolation Among Elderly Female Population

Women make up 70% of the senior home population, and 46% of them are without children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Social isolation and feelings of loneliness are often a reality for these women, many of whom are widowed and may not have a relative to visit them.

The Campaign: Hosting Makeovers for Seniors

If this Grassroots campaign raises $500, then GlamourGals teen volunteers can provide complimentary beauty makeovers and manicures to female seniors during the first Chicago Mega Makeover event held at the adult day-services program at the Chinese American Service League on August 13. GlamourGals will provide all the necessary supplies for the makeovers, as well as special gifts for the senior women. The money will also be used to sponsor the registration fee for a Chicago high-school student to continue visiting female seniors on a monthly basis. Each additional $200 raised will be used to sponsor the registration fee for another Chicago high-school chapter.

You can follow the progress of this and other Grassroots campaigns at the Groupon Grassroots website.

The Groupon Guide to: Playing Marbles

Marbles is a game believed to involve drawing a chalk circle and populating it with collectible glass marbles of varying color and size. Since the last person who actually knew how to play "marbles" passed away in 1956, modern game theoreticians can only speculate about the rules:

  • Draw a circle of chalk on the ground.
  • One player adds some, but not all, of their marbles.
  • Another player adds a portion of their marbles.
  • The players shake hands to agree that "marbles" is about to be played.
  • Marbles are rolled (flicked?) at one another to result in some marbles entering the circle, while others, through gentle collision, are pushed out.
  • A dog with an eye patch looks on warily, his loyalties unknown.
  • A play or move results in one player getting to keep all the marbles, hence the still relevant expression "This one is for all the marbles."
  • The players once again shake hands and return to their Victorian boys' academy, shipyard, or World War I trench, although one player's pockets, with every footstep, now clatter with the reminder that he has robbed the other player of the entirety of his worldly possessions.
  • The half-blind dog sets off alongside the nearest set of train tracks, disappearing in a cloud of sun-bleached dust.

Can you strike it big playing the highly lucrative game of marbles?
