The luncheon will be at 1:00PM
Wednesday,
December 8th. 10
at the
Shoney's in Acworth Ga.
Tired of all that
Turkey and Turkey sandwichs? Do you want to
change the menu for lunch and meet with some geo-friends. Then
come
on out and join us for a mid-week,
get together.
After we eat , I'm
sure we will hear some geo-stories and meet
new and old friends. Always good chats when Cachers
meet!
Optional This has
become a Holiday tradition for the Wanna Go Crew!
We will be
playing "Bubba's gift swap" with those who wish to
participate.
This Gift
Swap was sent to me by "Bubba" after he found
Google!
Bubba writes to
say:
Traditionally, a
Bubba Gift is that you wouldn't want (some
horridly or ugly) I have always heard that referred to as a
"Yankee
Swap".
But not In our
case, Please keep the gifts under $15. Try to
select something geocaching or hiking related.
THE
GIFTS:
1. This gift theme
is geocaching or hiking
2. The gift should
be valued as close to $15.00 as is
reasonable.
3. The gift should be something someone would actually want
or
use. It should be in new condition.
4. The gift should be wrapped or in an envelope before arriving
to
the party. Gift bags are OK only if a wrapped item is inside.
5. Gift certificates are not OK!
6. No geocoins or travel bugs for the game Please!
7. As guests arrive to the party, the gifts should be placed in
an
area where few people can see who brought which gift. All
efforts
should be made to hide who brought which gift.
THE
GAME:
1. Each guest who
wishes to participate must contribute a gift.
Everyone sits or stands in roughly a circle around the pile
of
gifts.
2. Slips of paper equal to the number of gifts with clearly
written
numbers. Each participating guest draws a number and holds
onto
that slip of paper.
3. On the first turn, the guest with paper slip #1 chooses a
gift,
opens it, and all admire it.
4. On the second turn, the guest with paper slip #2 gets the
choice
of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (#1's) or choosing a wrapped
one.
If #2 steals #1's gift, then #1 must open a wrapped gift.
5. On the third turn, the guest with paper slip #3 gets the
choice
of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (#1's or #2's) or choosing a
wrapped one.
The game continues
based on the following:
1. If a gift is
stolen from you, you can steal a gift (within
limits, described below), or open a wrapped one.
2. The turn proceeds until a wrapped gift is chosen.
3. You cannot steal from the person who just stole from
you..
4. The fourth "owner" of a gift gets to keep it. A gift is out
of
play once it has been stolen 3 times.
5. "Owners" of "live" gifts must keep them visible and hold
them up when requested.
6. This continues
until all gifts are opened.. Usually, guests are
encouraged to perpetuate the gift stealing as long as there
are
"live" gifts, but no one is obligated to do this.
7. Finally, the person who picked first gets to choose from
all
the presents and swap gifts to end the game, or keep whatever he
or
she has already received.
You do not have
to bring a gift to attend! The Bubba Swap is
for those who bring a gift. If you choose not bring anything
to
swap you can still enjoy the party.
It’s a lot
fun!!!
Also, don't forget
to post a "Will Attend" note to the
cache page, We want to tell shoney how many to be ready for a
few
days ahead of time.!
