WiREDThe Welfare, Interest, Recreation, Entertainment Digest for CVW-11

• In October 21, Car Wash led by HMC and OS1 Tyree made about $259.00 in 4 hours on a gloomy day. Thanks Barbwire, specially those who donated their car wash materials.

• Led by AD1 Santos, AT2 Schmith & AN Cowan, the 3 BBQ events in September & October, CVW-11 made about $184 profit. Special thanks to AOCS, OPSO, LCDR Heirigs for bringing their gas tanks. Also everyone who brought their “pantry” that cut down some of our cost and YN2 Littlebiggs for grilling.

• Because of this success, we are most likely to have a Celebration Holiday Party in December 11. More details to come on this.

• Thanks to all your support and participation staff.

Gift exchange will take place during the Command Holiday Party . RULES BELOW:

A white elephant gift exchange is a popular holiday party game primarily in North America, with many variations in name and game play. Generally, white elephant parties need a minimum of six participants, although the larger the group, the more entertaining and protracted game play will be. White elephant parties can result in vicious rivalries between players trying to get sought after gifts. The goal of a white elephant party is usually entertainment rather than gain. In the southeastern United States, this game is sometimes called a Yankee Swap.Gifts are typically inexpensive, humorous items, or used items from home; the term white elephant refers to a gift whose maintenance cost exceeds its usefulness. The most popular version of the White Elephant or Yankee Swap Rules say any number of people may participate. However, the minimum number of participants should be at least four or else the game is not much fun. Each participant is asked to bring along a gift worth no more than a pre-agreed amount.Participants draw numbers from a hat to determine their swap order from one up to the total number of participants.Each person gets a crack at choosing a gift. The person who picks the first gift opens it and shows it to the rest of the company. Then the number two participant picks a gift and chooses to either unwrap it or exchange it for an unwrapped gift. If the gift is exchanged, the person who had their gift taken from them gets to unwrap the chosen gift and the turn passes. When all the gifts have been opened, the game is over. Afterward, some trading should be expected and is perfectly acceptable so that, as much as possible, everyone goes home with a gift they are happy with. A common twist to the game is that after all gifts have been unwrapped to then allow the number one swapper to choose a gift from any of the unwrapped gifts.Since items can be stolen, the item in your possession is not yours until the game is over. However, this is often amended with a rule declaring a gift "dead" or "safe" after it has been stolen a certain number of times (usually three). This helps the process go more smoothly (avoiding, for example, the hypothetical scenario of the same gift being stolen by every successive participant) and limits the disadvantage of being among the first to choose gifts.
