Secret Pals are chosen at the beginning of the Club year. Names are randomly chosen out of a hat. The Membership Chairperson is in charge of Secret Pals and is the only person who knows who everyone's Secret Pal really is. Participants buy small gifts for their Secret Pal throughout the Club Year and bring them to general meetings. At the end of the Club Year Installation Dinner, Secret Pals are revealed.
