WHAT: A geocaching evening event
WHEN: 12/12/12 7:00 PM
WHERE: Marco’s Pizza on the Atlanta Highway
Come get together to celebrate this once in a lifetime date. Eat if you would like, swap some stories and/or caching tips. If you have any trackables which need to move on, bring those, too.
I have a space reserved. Event is open to anyone who would like to attend—cachers, muggles, and enablers.
There are many other events planned for this date around the world. Some, including Alabama, will have an exclusive 2” event coin with its own color scheme. Below is the distributor's photos of Alabama’s geocoin which has a nickel finish and is trackable on this site. Coins are in and I will have them available at the event at a cost of $12 each. Only 75 are being made in the Alabama colors.
Since it is December, the holiday season is in progress and Christmas is around the corner (unless the prophecies are correct), there will be a game of Dirty Santa. This is a gift swapping game which can be a lot of fun or a bit of frustration for participants and onlookers alike. Participation is optional. Each person age 13 or older who wants to play will need to bring a gift. If you are a couple and would like to play together, you may bring just one present. If you would like to play individually, you will need to bring two.
Here are a few parameters regarding the gifts:
1. Recommended price range is $10.
2. Wrap the gift so no one else can tell what it is.
3. Do not put any names on the gifts to be used for Dirty Santa. Only the gifts for the children 12 and under should have a name. (See below for gifts for children 12 and under.)
4. When choosing a gift for the exchange, please bring something appropriate for age 13 or over. Remember, geocaching is supposed to be family friendly so please make sure your gift is in good taste.
5. Your gift can be geocaching related if you wish but that is not required.
6. Gifts can be something homemade or purchased.
Dirty Santa rules for the game will be given at the event. Just make sure your gift fits within the guidelines above. If you plan on bringing children who are ages 12 or younger, please note that in your "Will Attend" log. Please include the first name or caching name, age and gender for each child attending. Small gifts will be provided for the children if the information is included in the post. If anyone else would like to help provide gifts for the children, please refer to the posts on this page and let me know so there will not be duplications.
