Monday, December 19th we will be having our Annual Millard Rotary White Elephant Gift Exchange. If you are not familiar of what a white elephant gift exchange is, here is a brief run down.
Participants will draw a number from a hat when you arrive to determine the gift choice order, starting with one, up to the total number of participants. Each person takes a turn choosing a gift. The first person picks a gift, opens it and shows it to the rest of the group. Then the person that drew number two can either pick an unopened gift or “steal” a previously opened gift. If the gift was “stolen,” the person who had their gift taken from them gets to choose another gift and then the turn passes to the next number. The gift exchange continues until all gifts have been opened. The person that drew number 1 also gets to go last.
Here are a couple of simple house rules: Please bring a wrapped gift with a value of no more than $20 to participate. A gift cannot be “stolen” more than two times.
Happy Birthday!
Ralph Palmer, December 2nd

Description:
A few things you should know:
- On the day of your volunteer shift, please park at the south side of our building. The volunteer entrance is at the southwest corner under the Food Bank for the Heartland awning and I, or another Food Bank employee, will be there to greet you!
- We encourage our volunteers to dress comfortably. Our Volunteer Center is climate controlled, so we recommend dressing in layers.
- Please make sure to wear a shirt with sleeves (no tank tops or cut offs). Many company volunteer groups wear company t-shirts to show their workplace pride!
- All volunteers must wear close toed shoes (no sandals or flip flops). We recommend wearing comfortable tennis shoes, as most of your session will involve standing.
- All volunteer tasks are assigned based on product availability and designed to “Feed the Greatest Need” of the Food Bank that day.
- Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. We do welcome younger children ages 10-15, but they must be supervised by an adult.
- If you would like to bring a child between the ages of 10 and 15 in to volunteer, there must be one adult to every five children present.

Attached is a picture of our member, Mark Zumdhome, exchanging the banners at the Club he visited in Germany with Club President Ruediger Buder. The Club name is Rotary Frisoythe, Artland, Cloppenburg. District 1850. Mark was invited as guest speaker and spoke about Omaha, Millard Rotary, his business and family in Nebraska. Through this club Mark head the first time about Rotary and this is the club that gave him the opportunity to participate in a Ryla Seminar and go on a GSE to the US back in 2005.
Millard Rotary banners are available to anyone who would like to take them on their travels and visit another club. Just ask Leigh for a banner.
