Sekrit Santa Gift Exchange??
This gift exchange is an activity I'm familiar with from RPCC and I
don't know whether it was ever posted here in the past. I have noticed a card exchange list here, and this site will NOT welcome card exchange people from this group. Yowie is doing a great job and there will be no stepping on toes, or on paws on my part. Gift exchange only. https://sites.google.com/site/sekritsanta2011/ |

Do folks in RPCA want a SecretSanta? Bit late for this year, but could do it for 2012. Yowie |

I took it to mean that, too. "NOT welcome" is a pretty glaring statement. Do folks in RPCA want a SecretSanta? Bit late for this year, but could do it for 2012. Yowie If others would like to do the Secret Santa thing next year, go for it. You already have a pretty complete mailing list. Just remember, there are people dealing with financial issues. They did an (entirely voluntary) Secret Santa thing when I worked for SCMS and set a spending limit of $15. (There was always that one smart aleck who obviously went over the limit!). But there would need to be a limit and that would also have to take postage into account because this is an International newsgroup. That brings up another question. Would these be kitty-related gifts/treats/toys or something more personal? I'm getting tired just thinking about this Jill |

Yowie Oh, RPCA people already have an RCPA card list, maintained by you i believe, I think, and nobody wants to step on your toes here. Sekrit Santa gift exchange is another matter. RPCA has no gift exchange at present and anyone who wants to sign up for that before Dec 1 is welcome. Gifts mailed to outside the USA would probably be late in arriving, but within the USA there is plenty of time left. |

If you are broke, send a laser pointer or catnip or something really cheap. No rules. It's about the spririt of giving. Nobody has to participate. Nobody has any idea which kitties your kitties would be matched with. That's determined by a random number generator late night Pacific time on December 1. |

Yowie Oh, RPCA people already have an RCPA card list, maintained by you i believe, I think, and nobody wants to step on your toes here. Ah, I figured (hoped) thats probably what you meant, but thats not how I read it. My apologies for the misunderstanding. Sekrit Santa gift exchange is another matter. RPCA has no gift exchange at present and anyone who wants to sign up for that before Dec 1 is welcome. Gifts mailed to outside the USA would probably be late in arriving, but within the USA there is plenty of time left. Thanks for inviting us! You're very kind, and I for one appreciate the thought. Sad to say, but whilst I would love to participate, just sending the cards (as most of mine are overseas) throws my budget out. I could not afford to send a gift overseas too (especially when for some inexplicable reason it costs an extra $9 to send a parcel to the USA 'because of security' but if I sent the same parcel to Canada or Mexico, it would still land at LAX ,and would still be handled by USA mail services, but I wouldn't need to pay the 'security fee') Yowe |

Yeah, it's a fun song and cat appropriate I have a rather strange memory of being in a club (bar) with someone I dated in the 1980's. It was the wee hours of the morning and the band was tearing down and one of them starting singing "Weam a whop weam a whop" and they got a good harmony going. It was about 2AM and I was 24-ish. What can I say? I chimed up (a cappella) and sang, "In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight." My date and his friends were astonished. Gee, you didn't know I could sing, did you? LOL If the bar hadn't been empty I'd never have done that. I don't sing in front of a crowd. But I can still hit those notes! Jill |
