We invite you to participate in the following:

- Photo matching contest – Entries due by end of day, Dec. 8; submit a current photo, and a photo of a younger you celebrating something (birthday, graduation, first lost tooth, etc). You can review the entries prior to the party here:
- Breakout room options – Part of the celebration is an opportunity for attendees to separate into smaller groups for socialization. We will be hosting trivia (at least twice), and have a couple of rooms with preset themes, and several rooms for general chat. Let us know where you’d like to start by completing the survey here, by Monday Dec. 13: https://tinyurl.com/2021WC-breakout-rooms (anyone who does not provide a preference will be assigned to a general chat room)

The ability to move yourself to a specific breakout room depends upon what version of the Zoom client you have installed. Make sure your Zoom program is up-to-date with the latest version to ensure you get the most out of the party.
- Virtual White Elephant Gift Exchange – Sign up by end of day, Dec. 1; Unwrapped / simply wrapped physical gifts dropped off to pick-up locations by Dec. 8. We are hosting this virtually, and each participant will be randomly assigned a number. Game host will “unwrap” gifts when chosen, by displaying photos to participants. Pick up location information will be sent to participants via email. Game will begin at 2:50 pm.
