Do to playing games and singing, we ask that you please consider eating your holiday meal during the 11:00 hour – it might be a late breakfast, mid-morning snack, or go all out and make a grand holiday lunch for yourself. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Here is a rough agenda of the day:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>11:00 am – Listening to the 500<sup>th</sup> NFB Presidential Release - Just to note that we will only be listening to one hour of the presidential release plus interviews with special guest because it is about 1.5 hours in total.

We will also be assigning all attendees wanting to play Family Feud a designated playing card for each of you to remember. That is, a card may be drawn for you and you could be the Queen of Hearts or the 9 of Clubs or any other card from the deck. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Family Feud Rules:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I am your host, Darrel Kirby, and we will be breaking up into two teams – the red team and the green team. Each team will consist of two groups Red Group A and Red Group B, as well as Green group A and Green group B. Each group will have a group leader. For Old Cap Chap Family Feud, your trusted elected board members will serve as group leaders. Innie Duncan, our Vice President, will lead Red group A. Jonathan Ice, our secretary, will lead Red group B. Terry Poldberg, our treasurer, will lead Green group A. Donna Prime, our board member, will lead Green group B. The rest of the attendees will be randomly assigned to the groups through the drawing of a playing card during our introduction. From here, we will have a competitive and fun feud between the Old Cap Chap Reds and the Old Cap Chap Greens. Further instructions will come on the day of the event. If you are wondering about breaking into groups, it will better insure that all members get a chance to “square off” against another player. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Post Family Feud, we will attempt to sing Carols and other fun holiday music. I am asking chapter members to come prepared to sing a song on their own. Please consider playing the song in the background.
