Please note that this month's announcements email does not contain any images.  Google apparently made a change in their email system which has caused images not to show in the Club Express emails.  I am told Club Express is working on a fix, but it has not arrived yet, so this email consists of text only.

The Greenbriar Civic Association Presents
a White Elephant gift swap

Do you want to get rid of that holiday gift that you just don’t need or want? Maybe it was the wrong color, the wrong size, the wrong style, or you already have two of them in your closet. So, rewrap that gift that will be perfect for someone else and join us for snacks, drinks and a bit of after-Christmas fun.
Saturday, January 13, 3-5 p.m.
Cale Community Center
Visit www.greenbriargca.org for more info.
Rules
  1. Each player brings one wrapped gift to contribute to a common pool.
  2. Players draw numbers to determine what order they will go in.
  3. Players sit in a circle or line where they can see the gift pile.
  4. The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it.
    Make sure everyone can see the gift!
  5. The following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. Anyone who gets their gift stolen in this way can do the same – choose a new gift or steal from someone else.
    To keep things moving along, there are a couple of limits on gift swapping.
    • A present can only be stolen once per turn, which means players who have a gift stolen from them have to wait to get it back.
    • After three swaps, the turn automatically comes to an end (otherwise things could drag on for a long time).
  6. After all players have had a turn, the first player gets a chance to swap the gift he or she is holding for any other opened gift. Anyone whose gift is stolen may steal from someone else (as long as that person hasn’t been stolen from yet). When someone declines to steal a gift, the game comes to an end.

    Note that for this last “extra” turn, the three-swap rule doesn’t apply. Players can keep swapping until someone decides to stand pat, or there are no other eligible people to steal from.
