BUNCO MEET and GREET
7/15 - SATURDAY 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM
$5 Cash Entry
Each person brings five (5) one-dollar bills. This will make up the “pot”. There will be five (5) winners.

Calling all guests. It’s time to have fun getting reacquainted as we kick off this week’s activities. Come join us as we learn a fast-paced dice game which will move us among each other and give us opportunity for many laughs. We had great fun at this event last year. Don’t worry if you don’t know how to play. Our host will teach the newbies and give the rest of us a refresher.

CREATIVE CRAFTING
7/16 - SUNDAY 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Whether you feel you are “crafty” or not, our very own Craft Queen, Debbie Greek is preparing an activity that is sure to bring out the unique creativity in each of us. We are always amazed at how talented we find ourselves as Debbie leads us, step by step, to create our own masterpiece to take home and enjoy.

WHITE ELEPHANT EXCHANGE
**(THIS YEAR WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BRINING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AS A GIFT)**
7/17 - MONDAY 9:00 AM - NOON

Well, what can one say about this legendary, traditional FFCA Guest event? Annually, this is our most well attended event, and there is good reason for it’s popularity. We will start the morning with a scrumptious buffet breakfast prepared especially for pre-game warm-up. Once the dishes are safely removed… Let the games begin! Come prepared to “relocate” gifts and revel in the fun and laughs of this event.

For those of you who are new to the FFCA White Elephant it is a little different than what you may be accustomed to. Here, instead of a “gag” gift, we each bring an NICE gift, (in the neighborhood of $45-$50), wrapped up and ready to be put into play.

OPEN DAY
7/18 - TUESDAY

Please take time to enjoy friends, and don’t forget to check out the many resort activities and amenities.
