Wordplay needs teams to support literacy efforts

On April 23^rd, dozens of three-person teams from the area will descend on the Omni Hotel to do battle for a good cause. Literacy Volunteers Charlottesville Albemarle will hold a fundraiser called Wordplay, and it’s something of an evolution for the group. For the past four years the group raised money with a spelling bee for grown-ups, but expanded the game this year to include trivia and word puzzles.

I recently spoke with Beth Golden, the executive director of Literacy Volunteers Charlottesville Albmarle, and game designer Debra Weiss. This is a ten minute interview about the event, and take a listen to find out more about the game. They’re still looking for teams and sponsors.
