Game Loft Featured in Christian Science Monitor

Christian_Science_Monitor

The Game Loft has been featured in the latest issue of Christian Science Monitor, one of the most prestigious international news magazines.

Writer Ethan Gilsdorf, author of Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks, became acquainted with the Game Loft at Snow-Con. He was so impressed by the Game Loft’s program that he approached the editor of Christian Science Monitor about writing an article about the Game Loft.

Ethan highlighted the Game Loft as the only non-electronic gaming after school program in the nation; the hope is that publicity in a national magazine will encourage other areas to begin programs, as well.

He visited the Game Loft and interviewed members and staff, paying particular attention to programs coordinator and Game Loft alum Max Delaney’s progress over the years. Max provided an intriguing perspective. He has been a part of the Game Loft for over a decade, and as such has unique insight regarding both the evolution of the program and its effects upon members. He credited the Game Loft with helping him survive the rigors of junior high and high school.

Current members interviewed include Damion Saucier and Rio Greeley.
