Info that may already be known. But just in case.
I don't know if NAXJA

qualifies or is registered with the State of California to conduct raffles, but in case it isn't, raffles are otherwise illegal in this state. My supervisor is the president of a local chapter of a worldwide M/C club and they are prohibited to use the word "raffle" in their fund raisers held in the State of California. They use terms like "give-aways" or "donations". Just the wording alone can make the difference of the legality. Maybe NAXJA

is able to hold raffles in this state, but if it isn't, caution must be taken to not get the attention of those who might get their feathers ruffled especially when posting such an event in a public forum.

Good point, and I believe that we are not having raffle, but an opportunity drawing

I understand the concern, but church groups, clubs and charities have been doing raffles of various forms for ever. Remember, a bill was passed as an initiative a few years ago that made previously illegal raffles legal, even though the previous law was never enforced. We have nothing to worry about...it's a non-issue.

On a national basis, we were concerned about this on our give-a-way XJ at the 20th Anniversary event, since we had to comply with various state laws just in case, so the term raffle was never used, it was a sweepstakes drawing.

I think we raised $84.00. At least that's what Rabbit won. Maybe it was secretly a 60/40 raffle, Sequoia was looking a little tipsy that night,lol. :cheers:

I think he needs a fund raiser for tires.:greensmok

Yes, we raised $84.00 and Jay (ryurabbit) was the lucky guy to take the other $84. I say the whole deal went very nicely, we'll have to do it again!

Dan...do you care to donate to my anti-slicks fund?
