From the office of Grumpy AKA wadu1
The 2025 15th Annual Hunting-Washington Christmas Gift Exchange. I want to start early so I can get the list out at convenient time, that will give participants time to send and receive. We need to keep this moving to make sure everyone gets taken care of before Christmas.
Rules:
1. All participants must be recent posters to the Forum with a minimum of 20 posts prior to this post.
2. To sign up, simply reply to this post "(your forum handle) is in." For example: "pianoman9701 is in".
3. Sign up final day is December 6th at midnight
4. I will use a random generator to pick who gets whom for the swap on December 8th and post.
5. Each person will be responsible for the next person on the list. The last person on the list will provide for the first person on the list.
6. Gifts must be sent no later than the December 15th.
7. The value of the gift should be at least $25 and need not be hunting-related. Home-made gifts are fine.
8. Once you've made contact with your gift recipient, post again. Once you've shipped, post again. Once you've received your gift, post again.
9. If you cannot complete exchange because of family or financial issues, please notify the MOD's we can accommodate you.

Cleared out a few pages - will have to go back and delete some more when I have more time. It is a harder thing to do than I thought when I see conversations with members that are no longer with us....
I reached out to BKMFR - I will get his package delivered to him next week.
Merry Christmas everyone!
