This wonderful idea has been suggested to me by Michelle Farell of Oklahoma. The idea is for each participant to bring a special gift from her state to the 2009 SPNI. The gift is to be less than $5 and it would be exchanged with another player before the first round.
I like this idea very much. However, it is only a voluntary program. Therefore, if you wish to participate, please bring a gift from your state to the Opening Ceremony on July 26, 2009.

Good job Michelle!
I think that’s an excellent idea. I’ll take a bowl of Texas chilli!
