I'd volunteer, but.....I don't know if I can stay a member in good standing until Dec. 5.......
You know that doesn't quite sound right...

I may live to regret this, but I'm willing to coordinate the gift exchange.

I'm happy to do it, but if someone else really wants to do it, that's fine, too.

Neil, dangle that possible free gift in front of 'em and they come out of the woodwork.
This is great fun.

What free gift?
You said that the free gift thingie never flew with the Breaktime posse.
Now I sorta volunteered after CAGIV sort mumbled that he'd do it. Now the woodturner gets involved.
Does somebody have to say, "I'll do it if Cal takes me to the Star Diner?"
Let me know....

Free Gift for the organizer:
Beats me how it went. I suggested it 2 yrs ago. I sent Neil something, not big something-impulse buy = something. Don't know if anyone else sent him even a thank you card.
Did the same last yr. Sent Eric something-don't know if anyone else did.
So this yr I suggest it again. SEND the ORGANIZER SOMETHING.
ANYTHING more than the headache I'm sure this becomes.

Volunteering for anything is not easy.

I will have to ponder this dilemma.
What does one one when everyone volunteers if no one else will do it...

We should agree on who is doing it soon, so whoever is doing it can start collecting names.
If we get going early enough, maybe some of the exchange gifts will arrive before Christmas :-)
(post #88914, reply #15 of 19)
Since no else is jumping up to do this, guess I'll do it.
If you are interested in participating, pretty much the same deal as last year. Email your information, I'll match you with someone, you will send your gift to them.

Leftisright has decided to do this and has started a new thread. If you are interested in participating in the 2009 holiday gift exchange, please sign up on his thread:

Heads, but it seems LIR already is doing it.
