BWC Annual Holiday Cheer Exchange

Last year we tried something new - our first ever Holiday Cheer Exchange. We were in dire need of making a connection and had to figure out a different way to do that for the holidays.

Well - I received great feedback from those that participated and I know some of you were able to connect as things opened back up.

So - once again - we are going to do our Holiday Cheer Exchange - with a little twist.

HOW THIS WILL WORK

Think of it like a recipe swap.

  1. Fill out the form below by Monday, November 22nd.

  2. Receive an email with your Secret Circle Member name and information by Tuesday, November 30th (if not sooner).

  3. Prepare a special holiday surprise for your Secret Circle Member. Read through what your Secret Circle Member wrote and put together a special something for them. No need to buy a gift - this is about cheering on your fellow member and maybe enjoying using your skills and abilities to create something for someone else. Here are some ideas:

    • You might hand-make the card you send with an inspiring note.

    • Send a copy of a favorite poem, article, short story.

    • Maybe you are a secret calligrapher - create a card with an encouraging quote to post somewhere.

    • Love food? Share a favorite recipe or a “go to” one for those busy nights or make a treat to share!

  4. Give your holiday surprise to your Secret Circle Member by:

    1. Sending it in the mail.

      • If you receive it in the mail - open with joy! Take a picture and share it on Instagram - tag with #bwcholidaycheer, tag @thebwcorg too!

    2. Joining us on December 10th from 10a-12p to meet your Secret Circle Member live and exchange your holiday cheer!

      • More details to come - but we are going to do an informal gathering - and what better way to meet your Secret Circle Member?

  5. Thank your Secret Circle Member in some way - a note, an email…your preference. Just don’t skip this step!

  6. When you sign up, you are promising to send something to a fellow BWCer by December 10th. Please don’t leave them hanging.

  7. Additionally, consider giving a small donation to one of the following BWC Member organizations to spread a little more cheer. (let me know if I missed your organization!):
