***ABOUT THIS EVENT***

Hi ladies! We wanted to host a holiday event to show our appreciation to our members that have contributed greatly to our local book community. The event we decided on is a White Elephant book exchange!

We will be going to Mimi’s Cafe to have a private dinner party. There will be food and drinks we can order as well as an exchange of fun and books!

We really hope you can join us to wrap up such a great year we've had with all of you! If you're not able to, we still want to thank you for all your contribution into making this a great and safe community for us Fresno women!

***RSVP & WHITE ELEPHANT REQUIREMENTS***

We have limited seats available, so **please only RSVP if you can attend with certainty.** If something comes up, please let us know so we can give your seat to another member on the waitlist.

To RSVP, you must have been an active attendee to at least one of our events in the last 4 months. **Active members get seat priority.** Also, you are required to bring **one book** ONLY if you’d like to be involved in the White Elephant game. We suggest bringing a title that you love and would like others to read. It doesn’t matter If it’s a new or old copy.

You are still welcomed to join us for dinner, even if you don’t want to participate in the book exchange. There’s plenty of fun and socializing to have regardless!

**Please leave a comment** after you’re RSVPed to let us know if you’d like to participate in just the dining experience and/or the White Elephant. It’d also be helpful to us if you can RSVP as early as you can.

**RSVPing will close December 6th @5pm.**

***WHITE ELEPHANT GAME RULES***

[This site](https://www.whiteelephantrules.com/other-names/) has great information on how the game works/other names the game is known by in case you've never heard of White Elephant. We will be following these guidelines with one additional step:

Since the game will only involve books, a way we will keep it interesting is by having all of us filling out a note card with a few facts about the book we brought. This can include genre (example: fiction, cozy, classic, etc), plot points (example: WWII, uncovering a mysterious secret, social justice, etc), or even descriptions of the characters (example: intelligent female lead, great love interest, etc). Just a few simple bullet points would be great so we can all somewhat distinguish between books while still making it a surprise.

You can do this at home when you’re wrapping up your book or we will provide some notecard materials at the restaurant so you can also do it there and Andrea can help you out if you need it!

You are only required to bring one book for the White Elephant game. We want it to be fair for everyone involved.

***OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION***

Although there may be some members who want to bring treats or other little gifts, there is no requirement to do so. We only suggest that if you do want to bring something else, bring enough for everyone in attendance.

You are also responsible for your own bill at the restaurant. We won’t be splitting the total as a group, everyone is in charge of their own individual orders.
