NLLA’s Grinch Gift Exchange!
Where: Bitters Pub Boardroom, 216 Prince Philip Drive
When: Wednesday, December 18th at 4:30pm
How it works:
Everyone brings one wrapped and anonymous gift. The maximum price tag is $5.
Participants draw numbers to determine gift unwrapping order. The person who selects #1 goes first and chooses a gift to unwrap. On subsequent turns, each person has the choice of “stealing” any unwrapped item or choosing a wrapped gift from the pile.
When a player’s gift is stolen, they must select a replacement gift from the pile of wrapped presents. The game is over when the last person has taken their turn.
Some munchies will be provided by the NLLA.
Please RSVP: Amanda Power or Julia Mayo if you plan to attend.
CANCELLED: December 4th Happening
Update: The webinar planned for December 4 has been CANCELLED.
