February 03, 1999 Hello ladies, Just so there isn't any confusion and in case some of you may have missed them the first time around...here are a list of the "rules" for the Gift Exchange. Of course there are some of us who always say..."Rules were meant to be broken..." so let's just use this as a little reminder instead of being told what to do or how to do it. :0) Gwen will be doing all the web pages and if anyone else would like to help, feel free to contact her. She is hoping to have the theme for each month posted by the 25th of the previous month so that we can look ahead to see who our partners are and what the theme is. She also will be doing a page that shows what we each got every month. Thanks Gwen!!! If none of you have a problem with this, it will be done this way each month so you will have to go to the site to see the partners and theme. If you have a problem or suggestion about this, let me know as soon as possible so we can change it. The majority of you basically agreed on the same rules...which are: Dollar amount to spend: $18-20 then with postage, hopefully it will be able to stay around $25 Date to send gift out by: 15th of the month, gives us two weeks to pick out something and two weeks to receive it. No excuses short of (I believe the words used were...) hospitalization for not sending a gift out to your partner. We all wanted to do this so...do it!!! And to be just a little less strict...IF for some reason you may be late getting your gift out...PLEASE ...let your partner know as soon as possible FOR YOU will be owing them BIG TIME!! I'll leave that up to you to reconcile with your partner. If for some reason you are not able to participate during one of the months, you must let me know as soon as possible. It wouldn't be fair for you to receive a gift and not send one out. You have to let Gwen know when you received your gift and what you received. A short email to her is fine. I think the old rule of no second hand gifts should still apply. If you have questions, concerns, complaints, ideas just email me right away or feel free to email the group as a whole, it is up to you. For the mere fact that they ARE gifts, it would be nice if they were giftwrapped inside the mailing box. Some people do and some don't and the presentation is always a lot nicer if they are. People can wrap them in wrapping paper, newspaper, paper of any sort, tissue paper, toilet paper kitchen it could be a t-towel) ....as creative as they want. It's like Pami always says -- Presentation is everything!!! And a big hug and thank you Kim S for this suggestion. :0) Okay, I have said my piece and now it is time for all of you to take a turn... Tami Let the fun begin!!!
