Women's Summer Book Swap 

Wednesday, June 1 at 7:00pm at the Diener's home   - SIGN UP IS REQUIRED

Summer is always a great time to catch up on reading!  Our Women's Summer Book Swap will combine summer reading with an evening of food, fellowship and lots of fun!  

What it is: Have you ever participated in a Christmas gift exchange?  This will be a similar event to the white elephant gift exchanges - the ones where everyone brings a wrapped gift, everyone gets a number and in numerical order, gifts are open, stolen, etc.   It wouldn't be a party without food and time to mingle, so we will have time for both. 

What to bring:  Bring a favorite book (new or gently used). It could be a book you have loved reading, a book you would love to pass along to another woman, a book that was special to you during a season in your life, a book you've never read but want to gift to someone else.  Books can be any category – fiction, non-fiction, classic, etc.  Bring your book gift-wrapped and for the gift tag, write a little note that tells what you love about the book or a teaser of the book. Do NOT reveal the name of the book.  This will be what makes it more fun!  Please do not bring books that are written in, missing pages, worn out, etc. 

How the swap works:  When you arrive with you gift-wrapped book, you will check in and receive a number. All gift-wrapped books will be placed on a gift table.  The game works just like the Christmas gift exchange parties.  We go around the room in numerical order, on your turn you could either unwrap a new book from the gift table or steal a book someone else has already unwrapped. If your book gets stolen, you can choose a new book to unwrap or steal someone else’s. 

SIGN UP IS REQUIRED. 
You are welcome to invite a friend or neighbor to join you, just be sure to have them bring a wrapped book.
