For your game show entertainment we put together some Grace trivia questions and some Grace staff members that are willing to try to answer the trivia questions in front of everyone. For the winning team Al Poncel will be buying breakfast a week from Friday.  Knowing how we all like to eat breakfast the reward for most staff members is substantial.

First let me introduce the team that will sit to my right Team Joann McFarland, give them a hand as they come on down.  This team consists of Rob Yandian, Mary Ellen Hood, Rita Davis, and Sam Stewart,  and team captain Joann will also sub in and play.

Introducing the team that will sit to my left is Team Rick McFarland, give them a hand as they come on down.  This team consists of Dianne Teague, Richard Cumming, Bev Irwin, Linda Noble and team captain Rick will also sub in and play.

I have two score keepers Cindy Roberson and Sheri Vaughan.

We also have a chief judge Geof Jackson who will help settle any disputed answers.  His decision is final.

Here are some basic rules for the Christmas Party Bowl Competition:

A. Points are awarded for correct answers to questions asked by the moderator. Points are not subtracted for incorrect answers.
B. There are two types of questions in the Christmas Bowl match:
1. There will be twenty questions worth ten points each

2. Sixty-second questions -  AKA "Lightning round" : ten related questions worth ten points each answered in sixty seconds or less.

C. The first response given is the one that counts.

Now let's go ahead and test the buzzers.
