White Elephant Gift Exchange
The first annual ORSP White Elephant Gift Exchange will be on:
Date:
Thursday, December 20, 2018
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Place: Around the islands
Anyone who would like to participate in the White Elephant Gift Exchange would need to bring a wrapped gift, with a $10 value. It can be new or very gently used, but nothing that is broken or in bad condition.
How it works: We will be doing a different version where everyone gets in a circle and Ashley reads a story and you follow the directions. At the end of the story, you open the gift you hold.
Please join in on the fun ... the more the merrier!
