Volks Folks Christmas Party

For our December club meeting, we will once again have our annual Christmas party on Monday, December 15th. This year we will meet at Wally's Restaurant at 6:00 PM for dinner and fun. We will exchange a gift in "Chinese Auction" style, so please bring one wrapped gift (limit $10).

If you've never done a Chinese auction before, Zen explains how it works:

Quote from: Zen

All the gifts are collected and placed on a table. Each participant draws a number.

#1 selects a gift from the table, unwraps it and shows it to everyone.

#2 can either select a gift from the table, unwrap it and show it to everyone OR take #1's gift and #1 selects a new gift and unwraps it.

#3 can select a new gift OR take #1's or #2's . . . etc., etc., etc.

Gifts are "dead" when they are take by the third person. The third person to "own" the gift gets to keep it till the end of the game. After the last person's turn is finished, the final selection goes back to #1. #1 has the choice to keep the gift they are holding OR trade with anyone in the room, including all "dead" gifts.

This is the only meeting I hate to miss.
2 years ago, FIL had a heart attack, Last year we had a baby...
This year looks all clear (fingers crossed).
I have been saving my vintage oil dipsticks and burned out low beam headlights for this occasion...

So you don't mind missing ALL of the others?

Party is tonight! See everyone there!

I set the time a little early so we could get in and eat first, and begin the gift exchange sooner.

I hate I had to miss it. That was the first Volks Folks Christmas party I've missed. But even Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken, Jr. had to end their streak at some point.

Looks like it was pretty good turnout!
