Quick Update: Just finished sending PMs to another 10 participants with his/her assignment. Hope to send more by lunch time. Patience please, doing my best to balance between C&V work and ministry.

Your Secret Santa Supervisor just checked his list twice, and if I kept track accurately, every participant has been PMed his/her assignment.
Of course I am human and errors can and do occur.
If you have not received a PM from me on either Tuesday or Wednesday, please PM me and let me know.
Some interesting stats:
In 2012, 18 participated. In 2013, 36 participated, so double the number.
Of the 18 in 2012, 11 returned to play in 2013.
I'm not certain but this is the 3rd year to do C&V Secret Santa (that I remember). From the above stat, I'd say we had a 61% success rate, which compared to batting averages is really good. Compared to test score averages for passing a college course--- not so hot!

I thought C&V work was a ministry.

I realize some assignments will be more challenging than others. I should say that my process to make assignments was purely random. I only made certain that someone who participated last year did not receive the same assignment. As it turned out, I didn't have to make any changes.

I got my assignment. Thank you, Pastor Bob. I replied by email. Did I use your preferred email address? I have two or three for you. I'm not sure if they're all active.

Received mine too. Thanks Bob for all your work. Now I know I'll have at least one present under the tree that won't be coal.

He/she might have contacted me without posting.

My apologies if I came across as grumpy, it was unintended.
Thank you for organizing all of this, good stuff.

Just to reconfirm Bob, I have my assignment.
I will likely ship pronto, as I have been instructed by the CFO here to ship my gifts earlier this year.

No joking! I've been honored and asked to officiate their nuptials if we can work out a date that fits everyone schedules. Could be a first!
