11/21 Social Sign Up!


Hey PPAers! The semester is almost over so it’s time for another social! The theme is “Fall and Winter” so we encourage everyone to dress up for holiday events such as Thanksgiving or Christmas! We want to see pilgrims, indians, elves, and maybe even a few santas!

This will be another potluck event, so please view the sign up sheet here first and then fill out the sign-up link located below.  We don’t want to have too many of a particular dish or only have desserts at the party! (:  Also, turkeys will be provided by UHPPA, so don’t fret!

Date: Monday, November 21, 2011
Time: 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Calhoun sky loft
What to wear: Elf, Pilrgim, or Indian Costume! (PPA shirt is not required and will not be rewarded points)

How to get points:
1 point – attending
1 point – dressing up (santa, elf, indian, or pilgrim)
1 point – side dish
2 points – entree

We will be also playing games and other activities including.. White Elephant!   We are setting the budget for the gifts to be a minimum of $10 dollars.

If you would like to be a part of this game, please sign up in the link below and bring a wrapped gift! – The more people who join, the better the game!

Gameplay Rules – Thanks to wikipedia!

Gifts are typically inexpensive, humorous items or used items from home.

The most popular version of the White Elephant rules allows any number of participants. However, it is recommended that the number of participants be at least six. Each participant is asked to bring a gift worth no more than a pre-agreed upon amount (sometimes nothing as explained later).

To determine the gift-choice play order, participants may draw numbers from a hat. Starting with one and up to the total number of participants, the players take turn in the corresponding succession.

Once an order has been established, each person takes his or her turn choosing a gift. The first person picks a gift, opens it, and shows it to the rest of the company. Then in turn, the participants choose to either unwrap a new gift or to “steal” a previously unwrapped gift. If a gift is “stolen”, the person who had their gift taken from them gets to unwrap any unopened gift; and then, the turn passes. When all the gifts have been opened, the game is over. This variant is usually used for large groups of people (25+).

We hope to see you there!! (:

  • To whom it may concern,

    I was wondering if someone can bring more chicken wings this time. I was only able to get two pieces at the last social. Thanks and good night.

  • I meant to put No for the white elephant. Sorry for the duplication!
