> there are still a few days left to do so.

> 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!
