Over the years, a fun "Holiday Gift Exchange" has become a tradition at 
the FARC Holiday supper.   If you haven't been to one, here's how the 
gift exchange works:

1. Participation is optional, but as with so many other things, the more 
the merrier, so please consider bringing a gift.
2. The gift you bring should be valued at about $10.00.
3. The gift should be something useful or simply nice, something that 
you wouldn't mind receiving as a gift yourself.  (In other words, stuff 
like socks, underwear, perfume, cologne, neckties and the like may not 
be appropriate...)
4. "Re-gifting" something you've received is fine, but please keep #2 
and #3 in mind.
5. Gifts should be wrapped; fancy paper and ribbons are fine if you're 
so inclined, but a brown paper bag taped shut is also fine.  The idea is 
to keep the gift a "secret" until it's opened. 6. Everyone who brings a 
gift gets to draw a number from a hat.
7. After supper, matching numbers are drawn from a hat one by one.  The 
first person whose number is drawn gets to select a gift from among all 
those brought to the supper.  He or she then unwraps the gift so all can 
see what their lucky number and wise selection has gotten them.
8. The second person whose number is drawn can select from all the 
remaining gifts, OR grab the gift the first person selected.  In that 
case the first person gets to go back to select one of the remaining gifts.
9. And so on until all the numbers are drawn.  As you can see, the last 
person whose number is drawn has the "pick of the crop" of all the gifts 
already claimed, plus the one remaining mystery gift that hasn't yet 
been claimed and unwrapped.

The process is much more complicated to describe and read about than it 
is to actually do, so please consider bringing a gift and joining the fun!

We'll also have a separate drawing for other door prize gifts and 
gadgets that everyone in attendance is eligible for.

See you at the Holiday Supper!
