yes, night people, day people decided to have a potluck. You know, when there is a potluck, there is always left over food and also a handful of ppl have to stay behind to clean up. If everyone brought food we would have too much. Therefore, I suggest the following: a potluck of under $10 useful unexpected gifts: maybe we get 5, maybe we get 10, maybe we get 15- we'll see.
I just found a little tool so useful at one of the "big box" stores, I would like to wrap it one up and give it away. There are many easy-to-acquire items: 5-10 lottery tickets, $5.00 worth of US Stamps, a COSTCO flashlight (they come in a pack of three, so giver can keep two), a gift cert to TJs, a KUHN vegetable peeler (the best vegetable peeler), an exacto-blade with cover, a thermos - oh, there are a lot of great little practical gifts. You might have a favorite "gadget."
What we do NOT need are: candies, another Mug, "a tie", OR a knick-knack.
So let's say we pile as many gifts together as we accumulate for that final day. Food-makers can still bring food they wish to bring, which Qn33La is organizing. Santa or the Easter Bunny can parcel out the gifts to the GREATEST BLOGGERS (GBs). I'll have a list of GBs. GB winners can swap what they pick if they wish.
That way, everyone will get to participate because everyone can at least toss in a dollar bill in a bow or a five dollar bill in a bow or a ten dollar bill in a bow: all of which could go into the 'useful gift' pile.
And if some of us use the opportunity to share some favorite, useful under $10 tool with all, then we all learn about useful tools.
I know I don't want to bring food, you see - but I'd be happy to bring a gadget.
ReplyDeleteMay you bring drinks?
ReplyDeletesure, non-alcoholic!
ReplyDeleteSo is this only for the day class I am confused??? I am in the night class will we be doing this???
ReplyDeleteBrytiny: thus far, the night class has not popped such an idea into being - maybe 7:30 PM is too late for the thought of eating - but, of course, we could say eat at 6:30 and leave earlier - it's up to the class. We'll see tonight. See y'all at 7PM tonight.
ReplyDeleteI might bring something on monday day class, not sure.
