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
