Geocache Description:


Ho! Ho! Ho! Fellow cachers! I am GeoSecretSanta!

We are approaching the holiday season and it is time for one of my favorite events:

Secret Santa - Geocaching Style!

One of the most popular holiday games, Secret Santa is a fun and easy way for a group of friends to exchange gifts. Let’s mix Geocaching with this fun game! Below are some very important instructions, so please read carefully:

Gift Exchange…
The last day to sign up to be eligible to participate on the Secret Santa gift exchange is Saturday, December 10th, 2011. Secret Santa sign up will end officially on December 11th, midnight.

Requirements for logging “will attend” for Secret Santa…
1) If you are a team, add number of adults/children (age of children/gender).
2) ADD YOUR SIDE OF TOWN – North, South, East, or West
3) Add the event in your watch list. This will allow you to be informed when your Secret Santa has placed a gift for you!

NOTE: If you do NOT wish to participate on the gift exchange, but still want to attend, you are welcome to. Please contact me personally, because I may ask you to be my Elf :)

Drawing names…
I will draw names and let you know who you got – Expect a contact email from me no later than December 12th.

Now the REALLY fun part!

The game period…
There will be 4 different pre-defined locations for dropping your Secret Santa gifts -- all in the Indianapolis area. The locations will be on each side of town. I am currently working on setting these up. The reason for being pre-defined is that the locations have to be easily accessible so children can also participate. The coordinates for these caches will be given to you by email when the time comes.

The game will be played during the period from 12/12/11 to 12/17/11. During this period, place a little gift or two for your person in one of the pre-defined locations. There is no limit of little gifts you can give, and little gifts can also be simple things...like a Christmas card, etc. Be sneaky…let your giftee wonder who you are! :)

***VERY IMPORTANT!*** Contact me when you place a gift so I can post a note on the event page to let your person know that he/she should visit their predetermined gift exchange box. That is why it is important for everyone to add the event in their watch list!!!

The Final Exchange…
The final exchange will be held on Sunday, December 18th, 2011 Time = 3 PM.
The event coordinates is now updated!

Pitch in…
Please bring food/drinks to share in the final exchange event day.

Guideline…
Your total spending guideline for each person should be $20.00. This should include the little gifts and the final gift exchange.

If you'd like to be one of Santa's elves and would like to make a donation to a prize drawing, please contact me.

Let the reindeer games begin! HO! HO! HO!
