We will do a Secret Sister again this year if there is interest. There will be information forms at the registration table for those wishing to participate.

We decided as a group last year that the minimum secret sister requirements are as follows:

-a card on her birthday
-one card for each season (winter, spring, summer, fall)
-a papercrafted gift with a $5 value at the reveal at next years gathering

We want to keep it simple, so please feel free to do as much as you want, but above would be the minimum.

If you have a Secret Sister from last years gathering, please don't forget to bring her a papercrafted gift as stated above for our reveal!!
