Hello everyone!
I thought it would be fun to have a Christmas party at one of our next meetings. I would be more than willing to coordinate everything but need help determining a date. I know we have a variety of different schedules so feel free to toss out a few dates that you're available.
Aside from food and music I thought we could play a few games too like "sneaky santa" (this is a G rated game but I'll get into that more at the party). And maybe even a more elaborate scavenger hunt that takes longer than an hour. I'm thinking also that this should include any and all children and families who have not previously attended a fanforce get-together.

Anyway. If you're not interested in a party then how about something else like (but not limited to)
-a pot-luck dinner
-going out to dinner as a group
-volunteering to visit a childrens home (maybe too late to arrange that but who knows)

I'll look forward to reading your replies! Have a great weekend everybody, and as always, may the force be with you :-)

Sounds like a great idea. I would just need to know the date since I already know that I have to work the Kannapolis Christmas parade (on a Saturday night). I also have a week of on-call coming up but I would still show up, I would just need to leave if I get called out. I will check out the dates for all of my stuff and post again tomorrow.

A volunteer theme would be great too! When I was leading a cub scout den - we use too bring everyday needs like soap, deoderants etc. and candies to the local old folks home for poor (mostly without family) residents. OR WE COULD volunteer to work the salvation army bell ringing at the mall - would need to call right away to see if they have any open time slots (OR we could all pitch in and sponsor one or more kids for a gift off the angel tree - salvation army at mall and give as a group to someone less fortunate).

We could do these things separate from the party day or same - you pick! I know I have a work party Friday the 14th and then Saturday the 15th we have the Tayor's kids (3 of them - pray for us - just kidding Matt). We could do something then since they would already be here - whatever.....

You can use our house or whatever Karen! I like the initiative of someone else planning something too.


Anyone for a chineese auction gift giving (maybe an ornament no more than 10 or 15 dollars)?

Dinner out? dinner here - dinner there? Scavenger hunt.....? like Halloween w/ digitals would be fun!

Thank you for posting interest! I've come up with a few dates...will any of them work for you guys? If not, we could always do it AFTER Christmas, no reason the season should end on the 25th!
December 8th. That would be this saturday night, would be some quick planning, but i'm off work for the next two days and could pull it together!
December 9th. Very untraditional to meet on a Sunday, but hey we're celebrating Christmas after all!
December 23rd. Again, another Sunday, let me know.
I'm sorry to say that the ideal weekend would have been the 14/15 but i'm going out of town that weekend, oops!

So here's what I think would be neat. If we have it before Christmas we'll all bring two items. One would be a small gift $10 limit with which to play a game. The other would be something along the lines of a hat, scarf, mittens, sweatshirt to give to the salvation army. If we have it After christmas the same goes with the gift only instead of hats and scarves we bring canned foods! It is a hard season for many people in our counties who are not as fortunate as we are and food is always in short supply during the winter. Anyway, at the party instead of a "dinner" i'll set up a buffet of finger-foods (yes they'll be guy friendly) and treats (i'll ask everyone to bring something after the menu is complete). That way we can munch all night as is our tradition!
So besides eating we'll play some games, christmas related, and have a great time.

All we need to do now is set a date!!

I am off work Dec.29th and 30th so i'm going to plan to have our christmas/new years party on that night...officially.
Place will be at RipRoar's (contact him if you need directions) and time will be announced soon.
You will need to bring two things. The first being a gift (no more than $10) that could be given to either a male or female. The second being one (or more if your wallet will allow) canned goods to be donated in our name to either second harvest or the salvation army to help with hunger needs this winter.
More details soon to come.
