One year is a big deal... Let's come up with some ideas for the July First Anniversary Social!
The date isn't set yet, but as soon as I have details I will post the info. in a Sticky (expect the last Sunday in July).
1) CAKE (can't have a party with out a cake!).
2) ICE CREAM eating contest!
(Can everyone chip in a buck OR two at the next meeting? I'll order and bring it if you all decide to have one!)
3) White Elephant Gift Exchange:
5) Cameras will be necessary at this event! PLEASE be sure to bring your digital to this one!!
Post any ideas you have here or you can PM me if it is more fun as a surprise!

The date isn't set yet, but as soon as I have details I will post the info. in a Sticky (expect the last Sunday in July).
1) CAKE (can't have a party with out a cake!).
2) ICE CREAM eating contest!

3) White Elephant Gift Exchange:
- Everyone brings a wrapped "gift" which is really an item you find in your home or garage that you don't want and that you wrap up as a gift. All the gifts go in a pile then people line up.
- The first person unwraps any gift from the pile and then shows it to everyone.
- Each successive participant, in the order determined in clockwise or counterclockwise order around the table, can either 1) "steal" an already opened gift (if there's one they really like) or 2) be adventurous and go for a wrapped gift from the pile.
- If the participant chooses to steal, the person whose gift is stolen now repeats his turn and either 1) steals another person's gift (he cannot immediately steal back the gift that was just stolen from him) or 2) unwraps a new gift.
- This cycle of stealing can sometimes continue for a long time, until a new gift is chosen, at which point the turn is passed to the participant with the next number from the drawing, or whoever is next in the circle, whichever arrangement is chosen.
- Since items can be stolen, the item in your possession is not yours until the game is over.This continues on down the line until you reach the last person who has the choice from of all the gifts people have or the last wrapped gift.
- Everyone must bring a gift so you might want to bring an extra goodie (extra wrapped gift) to have on hand in case someone forgets to bring their gift.
5) Cameras will be necessary at this event! PLEASE be sure to bring your digital to this one!!
