December 17th Program
Holiday Program
Join the Rotary Club of Marietta Metro for a White Elephant gift exchange during our annual holiday program. Bring a new gift valued at about $10, a re-gift item or something from around the house. Just make sure the gift is wrapped.
Game Rules On the first turn, person #1 chooses a gift, opens it, and it is admired by all...you hope! On the second turn, person #2 gets the choice of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (#1's) or choosing a wrapped one. On the third turn, person #3 gets the choice of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (#1's or #2's) or choosing a wrapped one. Game continues based on the following:
Calendar of Events Dec 16 17 24 31
Family of Rotary Month Holiday Party @ Kennestone Hospital Christmas Program at United Methodist No Meeting – Christmas No Meeting – New Years
Game Rules Continued……. 1. - If a gift is stolen from you, you can steal a gift from someone else (see #3 and #4 below), or open a new one. 2. - Turns proceed until everyone has a gift. A turn is ended when a gift is opened and (hopefully) admired by everyone. 3. - A gift cannot be stolen more than once in a turn. 4. - The third "owner" of a gift gets to keep it - it is unavailable to be stolen again. At the end of the last turn, the first person (who had no choice at the beginning) can choose to put back his or her gift and steal any gift that is still available - see #4 above. Then the gift "exchange" is started again (see #3 and #4 above) and ended when someone either chooses or is forced to take the gift given up by person #1. Inside Today:
