Annual Christmas Party
The annual Christmas
party was well attended and what has seemed to become a tradition in
the JHS, the Chinese Raffle was once again held. For those who
don't know what a Chinese raffle is, you are missing out on a great
time! Everyone supplies a gift (with no names on them).
Everyone then draws numbers. The person with number
"1" picks any gift they want from the table, opens it, and
sits down. Number "2" picks next and after
 unwrapping
their gift, can either A) keep it, of B) swap with anyone that went
before them. This rule applies for everyone until everyone
has picked a present. Then, the person with number
"1" gets to choose to swap
with anyone, since they had no one to swap with during their
turn. During the raffle many gifts exchange hands several
times. One can never get to comfortable with the gift they
have because they might not have it for long. No one is safe;
not women and children, or even elderly folks. Everyone is
fair game! This is an awesome time.
We thank everyone who came and enjoyed themselves. For those who missed it, make it on your calendars now for next year's edition. (December 3rd) An extra thanks goes out to the MOSH for having the room look very nice with their own decorations and to those who helped with the speedy cleanup at the end. We hope each and everyone of you have a safe and wonderful holiday season. I took about 100 pictures at the party. if anyone wants the entire set, please provide me with a blank CD and I will put them on it for you. Get a CD to me at your convenience and I will return the CD to you at the next scheduled meeting unless other arrangements are made. Each photo is approx 1 MB, so emailing them as a zipped file is an option. ~Mike |

A few of our younger members share a few laughs while eating. (Elizabeth will have a different kind of smile later when Lynn comes and takes her t-shirt away!) |
