Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I thought that i would repost in case there are any last minute gathering people out there who would also like to join in. I am in charge of the yankee swap this year. We have 12 people signed up right now. this also serves as a reminder for those who still need to make up their boxes. Does everyone have a box for thier items?? if not I will try and find an extra one or two. let me know if your interested. > > ok in case it got lost in all the messages and people missed it.
