Holiday Party and Secret Gift Exchange
|
|
On Wednesday, December 18th at 6:00pm, come celebrate the holidays with Top Out!
We're celebrating the holidays with our members and can't wait to see everyone and their friends join us for the evening.
All members are welcome to bring in an unlimited number of guests beginning at 6:00pm. You and your guests are also able to receive free rental shoes and harness use for the evening!
Our Holiday Potluck will begin at 6:00pm. Top Out will be providing main entrees and additional snacks. We encourage members to contribute to the fun by bringing a dish of their own to add some variety. Some members go all out and bring a fancy dish to share, while others fix up something quick and easy to bring. Even if you have nothing to bring at all, please attend anyway and chow down!
Our Secret Gift Exchange will be at 7:00pm.
Anyone may participate in the Secret Gift Exchange!
Anyone interested in participating, please bring a wrapped gift worth a minimum of $20.
For anyone who has not participated in a Secret Gift Exchange, the rules are simple: In its most basic form, the game is as follows: Each participant supplies one wrapped gift. The gifts are placed in a central location, and participants determine in what order they will take turns selecting them. The first person opens a wrapped gift and the turn ends. On subsequent turns, each person can open a new present or gets the choice to "steal" another person's unwrapped gift. When a person's gift is stolen, that person chooses another wrapped gift to open or in turn steals from a different person than the one who stole their gift. The game is over when the last person has taken their turn.
This game is almost identical to a White Elephant Gift Exchange, but we are looking for gifts that everyone would be stoked to receive. Less gag gifts and more awesome gifts!
