Sign up is now closed.New update on 3/301.we added a new member "RONS" to group 7 which now has 4 member in the group 2.Rockrookie is now in 2 different groups(group 1 and group 2) just like me OK everyone I think we have enough people to get the Summer Gift exchange underway. This is the way this is going to work. I know winter has been heavy in many places in the US, and so I thought exchanges as groups would be more interesting. Essentially each one in each group, will send one box to each member of that group, and vice versa, each individual will receive from the other member of the group. See below for the official groups. You will notice below, that my name is in two groups...we only had two member in group 7, so I put myself twice...hope is ok with everyone. Please notify the individual when packages have shipped, so everyone know when to expect their box . ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) The gift can consist of the following 1. Rough rock (this can be any type, but please no junk ;D)2. Cabs3. Slabs4. Tumbled rough5. Tumbled finished6. Minerals (please nothing poisonous)7. Jaspers (Bruneau, Owyhee, others??)8. Anything else you may think the other individuals will appreciate receiving as a gift this summer to kick the rockhounding seasonHere are some basic rules. 0) Gift must be received no later than 45 days after today ( ![:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cheesy.png) 1) once you are assigned an individual or group, there are no changes...realize, that some of these individuals you'll be sending to live abroad, so plan ahead to make sure you will have no problem getting the package there on time. 2) send a note with you gift to the other individual...just say hi or share where you found the rocks you are sharing 3) post picture of what you got 4) post more pictures of what you got. 5) There is no limit on your giving generosity, just make sure you give from the heart ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) 6) Gift should be sent via a flat rate box, but if it is an item that is smaller, you can ship via priority mail as well... 7) please enjoy and make this fun Update 3/30/2011 : distribution list has been updated and corrected![](http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb305/ozzman2007/rockhounding_utah.jpg) ![](http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb305/ozzman2007/rockhounding_NV.jpg) ![](http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb305/ozzman2007/rockhounding_montana.jpg) ![](http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb305/ozzman2007/rockhoundingidaho.jpg) ![](http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb305/ozzman2007/Rockhounding-Montana.gif) Here is the list of participants updated 3/27/2011: Group 10.engineersteve 1.rockwizz 2.meta99 3.rockrookie Group 24.haleysdream 5.rockrookie 6.rockncajunGroup 37.jspencer 8.marinedad9.amyk Group 410.colliel8211.roy 12.rock wrapsodyGroup 513.nuevomundo 13.chromenut14.ssexton Group 615.150fromfundy16.tanyafrench 16.tiggerGroup 717.kap 18.rockwizz19.rockoonz 20.rons The summer Gift Exchange has officially started, please contact your appointed individual and make sure he or she knows that you will be sending them something...please don't describe in detail so it is more fun ;D.

Now it would be nice for summer to be underway. #$&$@ing rain!!
But this will be fun. ;D
I sent PM's out so my recipients can let me know if there's anything they can't or won't use so I don't end up sending a chunk of rough to someone with no saw or tumble rough to someone who doesn't tumble.

IT'S YOUR PARTY, GET YOUR ROCK ON, IT'S YOUR PARTY...YOU GO BOY.... YEEE HAH! Sorry, got a little excited. Forgot I'd signed up and one other member, ssexton, PM'd me today with the request for info. So, when you say paste photos of the shipments, paste them here or should we have one thread made for "what I shipped" and a separate one for "what I received"? I think we'd end up making this thread too long, but not my call. Also, I don't want to see what was sent me, and want what I sent to be a surprise, so can we post like the day they receive it?? I have so much fun stuff I was hoping for a larger group so if you need me in a second group let me know!!!! I'M TOTALLY EXCITED!!!!
My two mates are getting some gorgeous stuff!!!!!!

All, I have similar reports in the past...the post office will try to punch holes to see what is packages that weight a lot...try to put lots of tape and make sure your boxes are really secure.
