terrypowerz Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 We will be having the "White Elephant" gift exchange at ICE this year.If you have never been part of one, the concept is simple and it ends up being quite fun!1. Decide if you want to take part... it is totally voluntary, so there is no pressure to participate.2. Look through your "inventory" and pick something (or things) that you feel like you will not use yourself, but someone else may cherish. Christmas or decorating related is suggested of course...3. "But Bob, how much should the gift be worth?" :confused:The question always comes up, and there is no right or wrong answer in my book.It isn't about $$... it is about the fun (and knowing that you might even get something you would really enjoy as well!)4. Wrap it up as best you you can to conceal the contents. Newspaper, duct tape, tarps, USPS boxes (used of course ), gift wrap, pillow cases, Light-O-Rama enclosures, etc. are perfectly acceptable wrapping methods.Do NOT put your name on it. If you think it is needed you may put a suggestion on it... like: "For a lady" or "External use only"... to either help get it to someone who might enjoy it, or to REALLY have fun when the recipient opens it. :cool:The concept is for people to NOT know what they are selecting, or who it is from. (You can tell afterwords...if you want)5. If you bring a gift, you will get a gift...6. "Stealing" is allowed and encouraged...2 steals and a gift is dead. No one can steal it after that... if it sounds confusing, we will explain it in more detail at the event... Trust me it can get fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrypowerz Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Now that several of the folks who attended have confirmed that they have arrived back home safely, I wanted to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who helped make this years ICE event the best one yet! I have always maintained that is the people who attend ICE are what really make it what it is... organizing it is just getting everyone in the same place at the same time and trying to make certain they hopefully have fun and enjoy themselves!(Hopefully we were successful)The people who volunteered to share and headed up the education sessions did an awesome job and I want to say "Thank You!" for all your hard work and time. With all of the questions that were asked, answered, and discussed I think everyone walked away with some new and different knowledge and ideas, even the "vets".I also want to personally Thank the vendors and sponsors who have supported ICE and really have made it all possible... please visit indianachristmas.com for a full list as well as links to their respective websites.(and please buy some "stuff" when you do, because they DO give back!)One personal shout out here in the LOR forum... "Dan, Thank you!!!"(We managed to bring a died-in-wool user of "other stuff" over to the "Light-side" this weekend with your help) :cool:Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
