Announcement List for the Virginia Atheists & Agnostics

Ignore the last email; it had a typo. Below is the email you should distribute.

Dear atheists and agnostics,

Happy thanksgiving! I hope you all are having a pleasant and relaxing break. In light of the holiday season, I thought it would be great if we had a Secret Santa exchange within VAA. If you don't know how these things work, here's the breakdown:

• You sign up with your personal details and preference for gifts
• A magic algorithm* pairs your personal details with another person so that person gives you a gift
• The magic algorithm also pairs you with a different person's details so you give that person a gift
• Meet together and exchange gifts. This means you get a gift! Don't you feel warm and fuzzy inside?

Of course participation is optional, but a gift exchange is more fun when there's more people involved. If you want to join in on the gift-giving, please fill out the Google form below. Fill out the form by midnight this Friday (Nov. 29) if you want to participate! This will ensure that everyone will have enough time to buy a gift. If you filled out the form, you'll receive an email on Saturday detailing your giftee. Bring your gift on the last VAA meeting (Thursday, Dec. 5) so we can exchange gifts then.

Another note: please limit your gifts to $15. This is to ensure that everyone who participates can buy a gift for their assigned person.

To recap:

• Fill out this form by Friday (https://docs.google.com/a/virginia.edu/forms/d/155YaWkaT5QLkz4X2imxWdB2K67iDgl37MGTROmICqJw/viewform)
  
• Limit gifts to $15
  
• Bring your gift to the last VAA meeting of the semester (Thursday, Dec. 5)
  

Thank you, and I hope you all can participate!
