There will be no Rising Meeting on the first Wednesday of December.
The holiday party on Friday, December 5th is the meeting.


We'll have a pot luck dinner (post up what you plan to bring below) as well as a White Elephant gift exchange.
If you want to participate in the gift exchange, you must bring a gift.

What: Rising Sun Holiday Party

Why: Potluck (bring food), gift exchange (bring gifts)
Who: As with all Rising Sun meetings, everyone is invited, not just club members. If you have met the requirements, you can even become a member at this meeting.

WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE

Our annual holiday party tradition includes a white elephant gift exchange. Everyone who brings a gift can participate.

Gift Guidelines
Any of the following make good white elephant gifts:
  • Something a Toyota aficionado would like that's worth $25 or more
  • Something fun/weird that you found in your basement or garage or a garage sale or a thrift store
  • Usable Toyota parts that someone might actually want
  • Tools
  • Booze
Adult-only gifts vs. kid-friendly gifts
We will have 2 groups of gifts this year on the tables:
  1. The adult-only gift group will be the place for gifts that contain booze, explosives, knives, ammo, lottery tickets, flame throwers, and other fun toys. You must be 21 years old or older to pick a gift from this group.
  2. The kid-friendly gift group will contain everything else. These gifts don't need to be for kids (in fact, most of them won't be for kids). This can include anything from a carburetor for a 2F engine to scented candles.
Rules of the game:
  • Raffle tickets will be distributed to anyone who brought a gift. This determines order.
  • Either choose gift or steal someone else's gift
  • If your gift is stolen, you may open a new gift or steal a different gift
  • Each gift can only be stolen once per turn
  • Gift is locked down at 3rd steal and can no longer be stolen

Wishing I could visit CO this Dec and hangout. My folks are planning to visit me in Utah. Also I'll be there in spirit while I attend the Wasatch Cruisers holiday party 🥳

Hope you guys have a great time!

Just going to drop a genius idea: Hazardous Fright has mini toolboxes on sale for $12 right now 😁 someone might be getting that plus a set of stubby wrenches, flashlights, and carne asada at the WC holiday party. Please don't spoil the surprise 🫢

Love yallz,
Allen

I just added details about this year's White Elephant gift exchange to the first post. Everything will be the same except we will separate "adult-only" gifts like booze and explosives into a separate pile so that kids cannot pick these gifts.

We're a week away from one of the funnest nights of the year! Post up if you are coming and don't forget that it's a potluck!

Go to the Emoticon short code list and tell me which one you prefer.
Thanks Matt!! 😄 I don't mean to make more work, and just to be clear I am stoked for the recent addition of reaction options. They are most excellent!

But I did search multiple key words and then brute force scrolled through the first half of codes looking for the headbanger. Best I found was 1F918 "sign of the horns" in case you don't mind adding it 🤘😎
