Brothers,

Please join in celebrating the holidays with Junction Lodge's Christmas Party.

We will be celebrating the holidays after we close lodge with a pot luck style dinner. The lodge will be suppling the turkey and ham, we just need to do the rest!

We have some specific needs for dinner so please RSVP and Brother Junior Warden reach out with what we need to complete our dinner.

This event is open to all masons and their families, so feel free to bring your family to wait in Hiram's while to conduct our short meeting at 6pm.

We will be holding a 'white elephant' gift exchange. Please spend around $20.00 on a gift if you wish to participate.

Rules:

• Each player brings one wrapped gift to contribute to a common pool
• Players draw numbers to determine what order they will go in
• Players sit in a circle or line where they can see the gift pile
• The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it
• The following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. Anyone who gets their gift stolen in this way can do the same – choose a new gift or steal from someone else.
• After all players have had a turn, the first player gets a chance to swap the gift he or she is holding for any other opened gift. Anyone whose gift is stolen may steal from someone else (as long as that person hasn’t been stolen from yet). When someone declines to steal a gift, the game comes to an end.
