Committee Me, a pencil ,some paper ,and a hat !
I really liked the one we had at the Brown County gathering in 08.
Those that could brought a camping related item. It need not be new, something gently used or even an item found at Goodwill will be a treasure to someone who may need just that thing. They were discretely deposited in the pile.
Immediatly after the pot luck dinner we will ask that each and every member of our group wishing to participate to place a slip of paper with their site number in the hat. The donated prizes will be openly displayed and as the lucky camper is picked they will come forth and select the prize of their choice.
We have had other types of gift exchanges but I really like watching those that really need an item get just what they need.
I do want to stress that donations are just that. Do not go out of your way to bring something or feel in any way obligated. I have duplicates and triplicates of camping junk I do not need and would be happy to see someone who need them enjoying them.
This topic is very much open to debate and others may have better ideas so please help me out with any other ideas that may be even better or more creative.
So let's talk about it !

If so, hope you ask for May weather instead of late August....
I'll be happy with early June ....
The way things are now, we may need some of those Texas style TDs...
