Program
A Day of Service
 
Today we held our meeting at Listen Community Service at 60 Hanover Street in Lebanon.  We did a variety of tasks to help organize baskets for pick up tomorrow; we did some clean-up activities; gave items for our family baskets to Angela; and had a potluck lunch.  Bruce Bergeron then asked the staff to give us some information about the holiday basket program.
 
The Staff at Listen let us know that they are providing Holiday baskets for approximately 230 families.  From the Listen Web Page:
 
"Reaching out is important all year round, and it’s especially heartwarming during the holiday season. For some the holidays are a challenging time. LISTEN Holiday Baskets provide 5 new items of clothing for children and seniors in addition to a grocery store gift card.
 

LISTEN’s Holiday Basket Program creates a connection to the community and spreads the joy of the season. Recipient families complete a wish list for warm clothing, and local families, businesses and other groups donate their time and resources to sponsor a household.

Holiday Baskets are provided to qualifying households with children age 0-18 or seniors 65 and older. Families are eligible based on monthly household income limits. Applications are accepted beginning October 1st and end when our budget and sponsors are maxed."

Holiday Party
Thursday, December 13, 2018
 
Dowd's Country Inn in Lyme starting at 5:30 PM with a cash bar, and some snacks. Dinner will start at 6:30 We will be doing a Yankee Swap at 7:30.  The goal is to leave at 9 PM.
 

In Yankee Swap each participant  brings a wrapped, unmarked gift (under $15) [for a couple, both bring a item for the swap] and places it in a designated area. Guests are given numbers as they arrive.

The person who receives the number 1 will pick a gift (that is not their own) from the pile and open it for all to see (or models it, reads it, or demos it). During the selection of a wrapped gift, the participant may visually inspect the gifts, pick them up and/or gently shake them.

The person who receives number 2 then chooses a gift and opens it, and then must decide whether to keep it or swap it for the first player’s gift. Each person in order then gets to select a present, open it and decide whether to keep it or swap it for any other gift someone has already opened

At the end, #1 gets to keep or swap for a gift they really want.
