[FARC] FARC Holiday Supper Reminder!

[Jeff Fishman]

Just a quick reminder of Monday's FARC Holiday Supper at the China Wok. The 
weather won't be an issue this year, so let's have a big turnout. Don't 
forget something for the Gift Exchange!
See you there.

>> Come one, come all to the Frederick Amateur Radio Club 2010 Holiday 
>> Supper!
>> Everyone is invited, whether a FARC member or not. This annual event 
>> takes
>> the place of the December meeting and a good time will be had by all!
>>
>> Date: Monday, Dec. 20
>> Time: 6:30 PM
>> Place: China Wok Restaurant, 1305 W. 7th St. #19 (Seventh Street Shopping 
>> Center), Frederick (a
>> few doors down from Giant Eagle)

>>> An entertaining "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 always, the more the merrier, so
>>> please consider bringing a gift.
>>> 2.) The gift you bring should be valued at about $12.00 to $15.00.
>>> 3.) The gift should be something useful or simply nice, i.e., 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; wrapping paper and ribbons are fine if 
>>> you're
>>> so inclined, but a brown paper bag taped shut also works fine.  The idea
>>> is to keep the gift a "secret" until it's opened.
>>> 6.) Everyone who brings a gift gets a  numbered ticket.
>>> 7.) After supper, matching tickets are drawn at random, one by one.
>>> 8.) 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.
>>> 9.) 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.
>>> 10.) 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!
>>
>> Please contact me by phone or email if you
>> have any questions.
>>
>> See you there!
