2023 Christmas Party
For the last couple of years now we have combined our party with Chapter 26. Since that was so much fun they will be joining us again. This will be in lieu of our December meeting.
When: Saturday, 9 December, 2:00p.m. at:
21307 SE 232nd St.,
Maple Valley, WA 98038
Just up the hill from the Hwy 18 & Maple Valley Hwy interchange.
We’ll eat at around 3:00 PM, and folks (if they wish) should be able to make it home before dark.
The chapters will provide meat, beverages and dinnerware. Members should bring a side dish, salad, or
dessert to share. No alcohol, please.
We’ll also repeat the white elephant gift exchange
Chapter 441 has a traditional ‘White Elephant’ gift exchange and so we will be adding that to our party. The rules committee is finalizing the rules, but essentially this is how it works: everyone who wants to participate brings a wrapped gift. This should be an aviation-themed article. In the past we've seen tools, books, ornaments, doo-dads, even aviation-oriented junk (er...treasures). For some, the ultimate satisfaction is to provide the most coveted of the gifts, something unique that others might find they can't live without. The gift need not be "new". If you feel you must purchase something, keep it inexpensive: we've used $10 as a target in the past. But it need not be "new". Don't feel a need to go out and buy something. When the time comes, the first person will open a gift and show what they've got. The next person then has the option of taking what the first person opened, or selecting another wrapped gift to open. If someone loses a gift to a subsequent person, they get to select a new one to open. And so it goes: each person has the option to select(steal) an already opened gift or select a wrapped one. The rules committee will announce their final rules about how many times a particular gift can be stolen, etc. It's great fun.
