What is a white elephant gift exchange?
A White Elephant Gift Exchange is an event where people vie to walk away with the best gift. Per tradition, we are going with the theme of games. We want everyone to relax and fun over their holiday break, and we thought a game could be a great way to support you in achieving the goal. Remember, no more than $20 for your game!

There will be 2 sessions hosted on each of the days listed below to accommodate schedules. To protect the virtual room space, the links and session passwords will be sent via email. You can attend one or both... it is up to you. The benefit of attending both is that you may be able to connect with different people each time. We are very excited about his new offering!
