[Ohio-talk] drawings in the nfb

[Carol Akers]

We need to hold ourselves to a higher standard than other groups so we are not 
lumped in with those who commit "fraud" or "scam" raffles by taking peoples 
money and not producing a result as you said. 

 Technically if someone wanted to know WHO won the prize or prizes in any given 
raffle, they should be able to find out  thus ensuring it was a legitimate 
raffle and if not, the group or organization could be held accountable if 
someone reported it as fraud.  


We need to be very cautious whenever we do raffles for prizes.   The best way 
to raffle an item is to already have that item on hand, donated or 
somehow available (esp when it is an item of value) ---you can never count on 
buying the item with funds generated by the sale of tickets.    If a raffle does 
not take place--the monies should be returned to those who purchased tix esp if 
they were $5 or more tix prices.  As an organization we need to present 
ourselves in an honest manner because our reputation precedes us at any given 
time.

Richard,
I appreciase your pointing this out.

It seems to me that if people pay money for something, they expect it to be 
delivered when we say it's going to be delivered.

When we say a drawing is going to be held at a given time and it is not done, 
what people remember is that they paid money for a drawing that wasn't 
conducted.

Eric
