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
