&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Come enjoy the holiday spirit with friends and colleagues.&amp;nbsp; The Annual BWC Gift Exchange is upon us once again.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;This year, to ensure equality of gifts, we will be doing a gift exchange instead of a white elephant.&amp;nbsp;There is a $15 limit.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;No need to go above, but if we could stay&amp;nbsp;in that price, gifts will all be comparable.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="green"&gt;Also, we are cutting down on the "stealing of gifts" to ensure everyone is able to go about their day in a timely fashion.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Of course, we do have to have some "trading" of gifts though.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Do not fear.....there&amp;nbsp;will be&amp;nbsp;no stickers that say Do Not Open Until Christmas.&amp;nbsp; So come enjoy a hot cup of coffee, good food and the spirit of the season....each other.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;
