"FYI" NEWS

MEMBERSHIP DUES:

The $9.00 annual membership dues are due now for the 2008 year. Please pay your dues before the end of the Month to keep us up to date and to keep receiving this newsletter.

CHRISTMAS PARTY GIFT EXCHANGE:

Everyone brings a gift (up to $12.00 value) and we put all the gifts in the center of the room and then pick numbers to see who goes first. The #1 person gets to pick any gift from the pile. The gift is opened for all to see. Then the #2 person in line can pick the gift that #1 picked or pick from the stack and the same goes for each one thereafter. If you pick one of the opened gifts, then that person now can pick someone else’s gift or from the stack. The limit is 3 times for any one gift to own. There is a lot of heavy duty trading between everyone and the laughs just keep coming. It is a great end to a wonderful year with our friends and members.
