[NFB-Arkansas] Tonight's raffle fund-raiser agenda and call-in information

[bmackey88 at gmail.com]

In order to sell raffle tickets via the website is by mentioning it as a
fundraiser and not as a raffle and state you are collecting donations.

That way you won't get in trouble with Arkansas' online raffle rules. Plus I
don't know what the rules are with Square regarding raffles, but I know you
aren't suppose to use PayPal for collecting raffle sales.

So to play it safe, call it a raffle and state you are collecting donations
if selling tickets via the website and social media.
