After Dinner<br />
One of the purposes of this meeting is to install<br />
the HMS officers and directors for 2007. Awards<br />
for outstanding work in the past years are also<br />
made. You probably know you are eligible. If not,<br />
do more in the next years. HMS operates entirely<br />
with volunteers. Its publications succeed only if<br />
you contribute.<br />
Are there still people you haven’t met?<br />
Introduce yourself. All attendees have had<br />
HMS Christmas Dinner Meeting continued<br />
interesting lives with varied experiences. Find out<br />
what you have in common: probably much more<br />
than shells.<br />
Gift exchange:<br />
When Dave calls your ticket number, it is<br />
your turn to pick up a gift at the Christmas tree.<br />
Remember good things come in small packages.<br />
But then, so do some big things. However, you<br />
don’t always get to keep your gift anyway. There<br />
are a lot of ways to encourage you to trade your<br />
gift for another.<br />
Silent <strong>Shell</strong> Auction:<br />
As a finale, the not-always-so-silent auction<br />
is closed and you can pick up those shells you have<br />
always wanted and pay for them.<br />
.<br />
Departure:<br />
Another opportunity to observe the hotel’s<br />
splendid decorations. Time to remember just<br />
where you parked your car. Validated parking in<br />
hotel parking garage, $2 fee if you remembered to<br />
get your parking ticket validated by Jody or Dave.<br />
Have a safe drive home observing the decorations<br />
by the city, hotels, stores and private homes. Some<br />
home decorations probably exceed your own.<br />
Make a promise to yourself to be more prepared<br />
for next year.<br />
