Thank you to my ELF & Others

Thank you so much for thinking of me on my 2 year anniversary on my WLS, The e-card was lovely. Thank you again.

Also thanks to those who posted, IM, and e-mailed me. You all know how to make a gal feel special.

Hugs,Love & Blessings Gail

Could you explain what an ELF is? I've seen several "thank you's" and it sounds like fun...kinda like our "Secret Sisters" at church.

Thanks!

A Secret Elf is a program that Sherri started (and with the help of Floyd showing her a website called "Elfster" (hence the Elf part of the name)) that randomly matches everyone that wants to participate and is also in the Hoosier directory, match up to secrectly give gifts,email,ecards or whatever you want to exchange. Contact Floyd with your info because he does the directory released each month. For a six month period (I think that's the time period but I could be/probably am wrong, hahha) you are required to contact your person, secretly, at least once per month with a gift, an email, a card snail mailed, an e card.... ANYTHING. If your gift is food it should be WLS friendly. Sherri's only main rule, so that everyone gets a positive, fair, happy enjoyment/experience out of particpating, is that you only participate if you are fully able to give it your time. If at any point during you find that you just can't commit to it like you had planned, let her know so that she's able to shift things around so that whomever you had to Secret Elf gift too doesn't get neglected and/or end up having a bad experience or even complain to her that they never recieved anything. We really do end up having fun with this. We celebrate surgeaverseries(sp?), birthdays, new jobs, new family members..... anything going on in our elf's life. People have been known to send flowers, gift baskets, gift certificates to stores and/or resturants. Lots of very creative ideas. 

So if you are interested just follow these two steps. Step 1: Contact Floyd with your information for the Hoosier Directory. Step 2: Contact Sherri stating your interested in the next Secret Elf matching.

That sounds like fun!! Could you tell me how to get in touch with Floyd or Sherri? I'm fairly new to this forum and I don't know them.

Thanks!
