Day 3 - Daily Task - Bill Clinton Day!

It's Day 3 of the ROI Community Online Scavenger Hunt!

As you may have seen on the blog earlier, Bill Clinton has been a source of support and inspiration to a number of our ROI Community members.

So when the Scavenger Hunt hosts, Debbie and Dudu, just happened to bump into Bill in the street, they were only too happy to let him introduce today's Daily Task! Watch this video to see what happened...

Today's Daily Task is to work out what Bill Clinton's favorite Israeli food is, based on the clues he gave in the video.

Once you think you know the answer, head over to the ROI Community Facebook Page where we have uploaded 4 photos of popular Israeli foods.

To earn the 2 Scavenger Hunt Points, leave a comment stating YOUR favorite Israeli/Jewish food on the photo of the food that you think is Bill Clinton's favorite!

Today's Daily Prize is a delicious gift box from Max Brenner Chocolates, worth $50! It will be awarded to the person who suggests the most delicious Israeli/Jewish food item, according to Debbie & Dudu!

Good luck everyone!

Day 3 - Meet The ROIers - Bill Clinton Day

On this day in 1994, Former President Bill Clinton presided over the signing of the Washington Declaration, which heralded the start of negotiations between Israel and Jordan, culminating in the signing of a peace treaty in October that same year.

Since leaving office in 2001, Bill Clinton has involved himself in various issues of global importance, and a number of our ROI Community members have been lucky enough to meet and gain inspiration from him:

Shawn Landres is the CEO of Jumpstart, a research & design laboratory that the Jerusalem Post declared had "changed the global converstaion about Jewish innovation". Shawn earned his footnote in history when he suggested what went on to become the theme tune to Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" (Thinking About Tomorrow).

Eli Winkelman is the founder of Challah for Hunger, which brings people together to bake and sell challah, to raise money for good causes. After presenting Bill Clinton with a foil wrapped challah, Eli merited a mention in Clinton's book "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World". 

Whilst at university in Mexico, Dina Buchbinder-Auron managed the 'Jewish Journeys' program, which enabled students to showcase Jewish life through a variety of creative media. In 2007, she founded 'Deport-es para Compartir' (Sports to Share), a program that uses sport to teach children about important global issues and values.

Ilja Sichrovsky is the Founder and Secretary of the Muslim Jewish Conference (MJC). The third annual MJC was held in Slovakia earlier this month. The conference hosted 106 interfaith young professionals and students, 46 of whom are Muslim, 51 Jewish and 9 from other faiths.

Day 2 - Daily Task - The Answer

The Daily Task for Day 2 is now closed!

It's been a 2nd whirlwind day on the Scavenger Hunt and, once again, whilst many of you answered correctly, some of you are going to need to raise your game if you want to give yourself the greatest chance of scooping the top prize!

The country that was neither represented at the 2012 ROI Summit, nor did it appear in the word-grid, was NORWAY.

As many of you pointed out to us, NORWAY did nearly appear in the grid! See below...

So well done to everyone who answered 'Norway'. You have each earned 3 points!

Remember to check back later for the updated scoreboard and to see if you were the winner of today's Daily Prize - a $50 voucher for Amazon.com!

And we'll see you all again tomorrow for Day 3 on the Scavenger Hunt!

Day 2 - Daily Task - ROIers around the World

Welcome to Day 2 of the game! Today's Daily Task is a celebration of the truly global nature of ROI Community!

Did you know that we have members in over 50 countries, in 6 continents! At the 2012 Summit alone, the 150 participants represented a total of 29 different countries, all of which are hidden in the word-grid below.

So why, you may ask, are there 30 countries listed under the word-grid? Well we have inserted one bogus country into the list. That country was not represented at the Summit, nor does it actually appear in the word-grid.

To complete today's Daily Task, simply identify which of the listed countries does not appear in the word-grid! When you have the answer, send it in an email to scavengerhunt@roicommunity.org.

Today's Daily Prize is a $50 voucher for Amazon.com! It will be awarded at random to one player that successfully completes today's Daily Task.


Good luck everyone!
