December 2nd    Holiday Potluck & White Elephant … (with a Generosity twist)

PURPOSE:   Celebrate our community, connect over shared food and drink, and experience the joy of giving and receiving help through random acts of generosity.

WHO:   You (Eagle County CC participants, trail work volunteers, amazing humans.) If you want, you’re welcome to bring a friend!

WHAT:  It’s like a volunteering after party, not the by ‘bumping by’ or shoveling dirt.  We’ll share a meal, share a gift and more!

WHEN:  December 2nd. 5:30-8:00pm

WHERE:  My house.  Address to come in an email after you’ve RSVP’d.

*Unless this grows larger than 40.  Then we’ll need a bigger space.  Do you have a bigger space or know of a magic place that will allow a large gaggle of amazing humans to stay warm indoors?

BRING:  Food, Drink & White Elephant gift.  

• Whatever you’re drinking. 
• Anything to share for a potluck.  See Google Form to sign up for a dish.  Crock pot’s & casseroles are cool!
• White Elephant:  ‘an object no longer of value to its owner but of value to others’ Hand created, already at home or up-cycled gifts are spectacular!   If you need one, I’ll have extra, no stress!

RSVP on the GOOGLE FORM.

The GENEROSITY TWIST:
gen·er·os·i·ty   Noun   the quality of being kind and generous.
“I was overwhelmed by the generosity of friends and neighbors”

Isn’t it fun to help others?  To let generosity thrive, we also need to allow others to help us. 

The twist:  Everyone should come prepared with one thing you need help with.   Plan to participate in an activity which is anonymous and will allow you to utilize your strengths and help out another in our community.  You will give and you will get.  So please come with one thing you need help with.  It could be practical, creative, or personal. No ask is too big or small!  If you need inspiration, here are some ideas:

• Anyone good at resumes?
• I need a thought partner.
• Looking for advice on how to build a book club.
• Looking for a mentor regarding xyz.
• I need help finding a job.
• It would be awesome to have someone join me to learn to throw pottery.
• I have a dog and am currently needing some help walking him as I’m recovering from an injury.
• Anyone an elf?  We need one for our holiday party.
• Looking for a recommendation on a new book.  Non-Fiction Please.
• I need help brainstorming a hard challenge.
• There’s a giant stick in my gutter.  Anyone got a ladder and no fear?
• I don’t own tools but need help hanging a few things on my walls.
• Anyone out there want to go skiing one day?
• I’m scared of skiing.  Anyone want to go for a hike / snowshoe?
• I need an accountability buddy to go to the gym.
• My brain melts when thinking of what to cook.  Anyone good at meal planning?
• I’m broke and need a pair of gloves.  Anyone have extra? I’m a medium.
