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
