Christmas Party 2012!

Everyone is invited!

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Please use this link because it has the mp3 player we are going to use to listen to Peace on Earth. =]



ONE RULE for when you are in the chat. Please DO NOT type in coloured text. I will be the only one with coloured text to make it easy for you to tell when I write something. Like when we are doing the games or moving on to the next event. :)

Hope you all can come! It's sure to be fun. \:D/

For those of you who cannot see the image...
You are cordially invited to…
A Christmas Party hosted by the Israelites!

Location:
ToO Chat

Date and Time:
Thursday, the 20th
(time is below converted to your time zone)

Invitation wrote:I hope you’ll make time to pop in on the fun!
*We will be revealing the secret buddies
*Having a short prayer time
*Listening to the AIO episode “Peace on Earth”
*Playing games such as Scattergories, Word Scramble, and Telephone
*And finally, there will be a drawing for several ToO Shop Gift Cards!
TIME: According to your time zone.
  • Atlantic (UCT-4): 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
  • Eastern (UCT-5): 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
  • Central (UCT-6): 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
  • Mountain (UCT-7): 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
  • Pacific (UCT-8): 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
  • Alaska (UCT-9): 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
  • Hawaii (UCT-10): 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
  • Ghana (GMT): 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
  • Australia (EDT): 6:00 am - 9:00 am



Times for each event (using Eastern Standard Time):
We understand that some of you may not be able and/or want to stay for the entire party. Because of this reason, I went ahead and wrote the times down for when each event will occur. This way, if you want to come for a specific event you can do so. :)
  • 2:00 - 3:00 pm: Have general discussion, reveal the Secret Buddies, maybe play a game
  • 3:00 - 3:30 pm: Prayer
  • 3:30 - 4:00 pm: Listen to AIO episode "Peace on Earth"
  • 4:00 - 5:00 pm: PLAY GAMES, hold the drawing for the Gift Cards

Secret Buddy:
Most of you are probably asking yourselves, "WHAT THE HEY IS SECRET BUDDY?!" Well, let me tell you. It's a program the Israelites have being doing for a little of over a month now. We've selected 7 members and paired each one with an Israelite. From there, that Isrealite will be their secret buddy (for a period of time) giving them gifts, sending them notes, letting them know they are praying for them, and whatever else they wanted. \:D/ Kind of like Secret Santa, only for a longer period of time. :) And now, at the party, the selected members will finally get to know who (whom ?) their secret buddy is..was...yeah. :mrgreen:

SO NOW YOU KNOW.



Gift Card Drawing:
There will be 5 gift cards up for grabs. \:D/ One $300 card, two $250 cards, and two $150 gift cards. Note that, you will only be able to use these cards in the ToO Shop. Near the end of the party we will hold a drawing to see who wins what. We may also make it so the more games you win the more entries you get in the drawing. ;)


I do hope you'll be able to come, we'd love to have you! Even if it's just part of the time. So don't forget to mark your calenders! \:D/

-The Israelites




P.S. Oh, and members of the Bones are invited too. :p

Thank you, Israelites, for thinking of such a fun event!

I may be there later to provide oversight, but not much more.

I'm sure everyone is on a 'I'm planning on being there...but it is not final list.' :) And that is actually me as well. I'm hoping to run things at the party IF nothing weird comes up. And with me, you never can tell.

I hope you can! Events like this are never the same without you. =)

Do you think you'll be able to get the transcript? Or do you have to be there the whole time?

...I can never get full transcripts when it goes a long period of time. I mean, we don't actually have to have a transcript though. So it's not a big priority.

If I remember I could leave the chat open on the computer all day to record it.

That would be nice, Dan. But if you don't remember or doesn't work out, that's totally fine.

I might be able to record a transcript. ;) I don't want to be there the whole time(I don't really like spending three hours straight sitting at the computer) but I could leave it open while I'm not there, then post the transcript later.

Doesn’t it cut off if it gets too long? It does for me. When I take transcripts I have to do it in sections as the chat goes on.

I use X-chat, which saves to a file, so I get everything I'm there for.
