EVENT 01/02/11: Regift-O-Rama 2011 Syracuse

Regift-O-Rama 2011 Syracuse
http://coord.info/GC29DD2 (once it's published)
Sunday, January 2, 2011, 2:07 pm – 4:27 pm
Manlius Library (Community Room)
1 Arkie Albanese Way
Manlius, NY 13104

General Schedule:
2:07 – 2:10: Arrive, register, and put your regifts & finger foods on the proper tables.
2:10 – 2:40: Go out and about on foot to hide your gift number.
2:40 – 3:00: Return to the party and munch on finger foods.
3:00 – 3:45: Draw coordinates and find your gift number!
3:45 – 4:17: Return to the party and we will open our re-gifts.
4:17 – 4:27: Cleanup, depart, and cache with friends! (Sunset is 4:41 pm)

Detailed Instructions:
What to bring:
Your GPS receiver so that you can mark the coordinates of your hide and subsequently find someone else's hide.
A wrapped "regift". It can be an actual regift or you can find/purchase something, if necessary. Gifts can be large/small, cheap/expensive, cute/ugly, etc. Just keep it family friendly!
A container to hide your gift number in. Generally you will probably want a micro or nano container (film canisters are fine). If you'd like your container back, that will be arranged.
A finger food item to share with everyone. We will have limited table space so generally we'll be walking or sitting with paper plates. Some ideas are cookies, little sandwiches, deviled eggs, banana/zuccini bread, mini-muffins, shrimp, nuts, cheese & crackers, chips, etc. Of course, if someone wants to bring a chocolate fountain with all the fixings, we WILL find a way to accomodate :)

Is it an authentic חנוכה re-gift?

Nope, it's a birthday regift. . . is that OK?  (No spelling mistakes on it, either.)

Besides a chocolate fountain?  ;D

As far as helping out, I may enlist you to help with something. We'll have to have a station for people to register and get the stuff they need to do the regifting part (and many explanations of what/how to do it). I think I'll be doing that, but it may also be helpful to have someone watching over and organizing the food station.

There are some items I will need to go out and purchase. If you happen to have any of these, it'd be helpful if you could bring something:
  • Don't forget to bring all the regular stuff (pen, container, regift, finger food)!
  • Paper plates (I don't know if the smaller ones would be a better choice for finger foods?)
  • Napkins
  • Name tags
  • Extra empty film canisters in case someone doesn't have a container of their own
  • Small amount of cleaning supplies to wipe off tables and clean up any food spills on the floor

I'll double check, but I think there are sponges and liquid soap that we can use to clean up.

I'll just let you plan the goofy FTF contest! When Darius first found the "tree" he asked if it could possibly be it, and I told him it would be wacky, but maybe not quite like that. . . I thought it would be obvious if he had the right item. . .which of course it was.
