We are getting close to the Christmas Party out at Kenny and Lydia's barn at Uwharrie.
Post if you are able to make it, how many will be coming with you (adults vs kids) and what day you will be arriving.
This year will be another chili cook off! Please sign up for chili on Saturday. The club will be bringing ham, sides and breakfast for Sunday.
For work, we have a Uwharrie Workday on Saturday, so please plan on attending. We're still working with Terry to get the list of things to do.
Finally, we'll need more firewood cut, so we'll make sure the log splitter is there. I'll bring my saw. @erymer if you wouldn't mind bringing yours that'd be awesome

ONSC USFS Work Day
Similar to years past, we will be having an ONSC-specific work day Saturday December 2nd during this event. Details are as follows:
Annilie will be working with you and you’ repair the guardrail at the hill climb on Dickey Bell Trail & if there is an extra guardrail not needed at the Dickey Bell Trail hill climb there was a place it could be installed on Falls Dam Trail. There are plenty of posts at the Flatwoods Trailhead and Annilie will bring extra nuts, bolts, & washers. We’ll also have timber and carriage bolts there to fix the wooden guiderail fencing around Falls Dam, Art Lilley & Wolf Den Trailheads. If you got drills and drill bits for a ½ inch whole to drill the timbers that would be good too.
If you guys have a pneumatic drill or extra ratchet sets to bring up too that would be good. Some of our stuff has disappeared over the year. Tomorrow I can go over to the FOU barn and get the augers & draggers, loppers, etc. from there for Annilie to bring with her.
Thanks a lot. Bye - Terry
We will be maintaining a sign-up sheet that will be submitted to Terry for credit. We are meeting at 9:00am at Hunt Camp!
Description of our "Dirty Santa" gift exchange!
Gifts range between $10-$20 or can be something from your collection, serious or funny. It's anonymous and those who participate get their names put in a hat to be drawn. When your name is called, you grab a gift.
The gifts can be stolen twice though before then end up with their final owner.
Example: Adam picked a gift and its a toyota gift card...... Johnny's name is drawn later and he instead of picking a wrapped gift steals adams gift..... then adam has to pick a new gift or steal from someone else.
After any gift has been stolen a second time it is locked in an stays with that owner.
Past funny gifts have included.... the karmapooptra book, the gift that every girl wants, a pink poncho, twighlight poster, poster of @custyota in a fountain (a timeless classic), or an old car stereo.
Serious gifts have been, toyota gift card, toyota trail team swag, cruiser parts, best buy gift cards.
This is totally optional and spouses and guests not in the club can participate also, all you need is to bring a gift!!!
Thank you!! See everyone there.
