2) Food for a potluck dinner, please post what you intend to bring with your attend log or a separate note.
3) A Wrapped Gift for the Holiday Swap
4) TB's and Coins to trade and discover
THE GIFTS:
1. If you wish to participate - The Meet's gift theme is Geocaching!
2. Gifts should be valued around $10.00 to $15.00
3. Gifts should be wrapped or in an envelope before arriving at the
meet. Gift bags are OK as long as the wrapped item is inside.
4. As guests arrive the gifts will be placed in an area where few
people can see who brought which gift. All efforts will be made
to conceal who bought which gift.
THE GAME:
1. Each guest participating will draw a number when they enter
and retain the slip of paper.
2. On the first turn the guest with slip #1 will choose a gift and
open it for all to admire.
3. On the second turn the guest with the #2 gets the choice of
choosing a wrapped gift or "stealing" an unwrapped gift (#1's)
gift. If #2 "steals" #1's gift then #1 will unwrap another gift.
4. On the third turn the guest with #3 may steal any unwrapped
gift or choose a wrapped one.
THE GAME CONTINUES AS FOLLOWS:
a. If a gift is stolen from you, you may steal a gift (within the
prescribed limits) or open a wrapped gift.
b. The turn proceeds until a wrapped gift is chosen.
c. Once a gift has been stolen from a guest that guest may not
steal it back later.
d. Once a gift has been stolen 3 times it is declared "dead" and
may not be stolen again.
e. "Owners" of "live" gifts must kee them visible and display them
when requested.
f. The gift exchange continues until the last wrapped gift is opened.
Guests are encouraged to perpetuate the gift stealing as long
as there are "live" gifts, but no one is obligated to do so.
So join us December 6th for good friends, good food and good fun!
