About this event
Mark your calendars for the premier event of the season, the After Holiday Party and Yankee Swap. Chesapeake Region has established a reputation for the finest and fiercest Yankee Swap in PCA, one that has been copied by other regions, but never quite duplicated. The social hour and dinner are quite spectacular enough, even in a group that defines itself as a “social club, with a serious car problem”, but the Yankee Swap makes the event.
Event requirements
A “Gift Exchange” is merely a mild description of the feeding frenzy that takes hold at this triple steal event. Chesapeake Region, despite being below the Mason Dixon Line, puts the “Yankee” into Yankee Swap.
Bring a wrapped “car-related” gift, approximately valued at $20-$25, if you want to play. (Of course, if you prefer, you may attend the event and not participate in the Swap, but be prepared to feel left out once the fun begins!) Be sure to bring a gift that you yourself would like to take home, because you never know what will happen! All gifts are placed on the table and names are drawn one at a time… each person has the choice of choosing a new gift, or stealing one that has been opened before. Only 3 steals are allowed per round, and then the next person has to choose a new gift - gifts can only be stolen once per round. If you don’t quite follow, never fear, it will all become clear as the swap unfolds.
