Saturday December 8th.
Merry Christmas!!!It is time for our annual Christmas feast. Saturday evening, Dec. 8th. This year, we will be in the Sunflower building at the Sedgwick County Park which is between 21st North and 13th North just west of the big ditch. It is very close to the 13th street entrance to the park (see map on next page). We have the building from 8am to 10pm. Betty Henderson and her gang of loyal helpers will probably be there by 2PM and could use any other volunteers who are willing to help set up. We can use all the help that is cheerfully offered. Party Starts At 6pm and dinner will start at 6:30pm sharp so we can get through the gift exchange before it is time to clean up. Meat, coffee, tea, and table service will be provided. If you want a different type of drink, bring your own. Your obligation is to bring one dish, which could be salad, starch, deviled eggs, desert, whatever you wish to provide. We want everyone to go home stuffed.There will be a white elephant gift exchange. Each person is to bring one wrapped present. This could be a model car, Corvette calendar, something pretty, a hubcap, old starter, or a jar of navel lint. Gifts should be less than $15 down to worthless. Using the same rules as last year. You open a gift and if you want to keep it, you throw in $5 for the Lord’s Diner fund. If you don’t want to keep it, the gift will go up for auction starting at $1. The winning bidder either gives their gift or number to the original gift opener.And round and round we go. I will explain better as we get into the gift exchange when you can see the auction in action.
Rules for the gift exchange after the Christmas feast.All donations (forced or otherwise) will go to the Lord’s Diner.Two possibilities:• Person-A opens a gift. Person-A absolutely loves the gift (or doesn’t want to get
screwed with a worse gift) and wants to keep it. Person-A immediately gives $5 tothe Lord’s Diner fund. Nobody else can later claim that gift.
• Person-A doesn’t want to pay the $5 to keep the gift. The gift is now in play. We willimmediately start an auction at $1 with $1 increments. The high bidder, Person-B,gets the gift and it is theirs to keep. Nobody can later claim it. If the Person-B hasalready received a gift, Person-B will give the gift to Person-A. Person-A again hasthe option of paying the $5 or throwing it back into play.
And round and round it goes until all gifts are opened. Person-A is eligible to bid onlater gifts. You can bid on gifts even if you haven’t already received a gift. In that case,Person-A will open another gift.
