Readers: Take Charge of Weekend Games on Cupertino Patch

Instead of being the guessers of our games, be the one to contribute the images. Make Patch editor, Anne Ernst, do the guessing, too!

I want to play my own weekend Cupertino Patch games, but need your help.

If you’re a weekend Cupertino Patch reader you’re familiar with our two games, , which runs on Saturdays, and that runs on Sundays. Well it’s time for a little twist.

I’m asking for Cupertino Patch readers to be the ones to provide the photos so that I can get in on the guessing games, too.

For the Where’s This game, I take a photo of a sign on a business, for example, then crop it to a proportion that offers just a hint of what the whole sign is.

In the Guess Where game I take a photo of an ordinary-looking rather non-descript building, or section of a building within the city’s limits or just across it’s borders and ask readers to guess where I was standing when I took the photo. (Readers can also just answer by identifying the building, too.)

Send your photos to Cupertino Patch editor Anne Ernst at anne.ernst@patch.com.

Don’t tell me anything about the image—and please follow the rules about the sign or building currently existing in or on the border of Cupertino—and I’ll create and post the article on the regular days. If I get a lot of submissions, I'll run them during the weekdays, too.

And my thanks to Bitter+Sweet owner, Janice Chua, for planting the seed of this idea in my little head!

C'mon everybody, play with me!

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.

A big "Thank You" to Anne, Pete, and 53 other professionals who opened up their companiesRead More and organizations to give our students hands-on experience of what life might look like for them post-high school. Job Shadowing brings relevance to education!
