Jeep info and question
 

Hi,

I have an 01 Wrangler and partly due to my fondness for this ca
(bought only to access property under construction but now I like i
every day), our Rotary club is buying a brand new Wrangler X, yello
with AC and automatic. We are raffling this with all procedes t
charitable uses. I want to know from members here a couple things.

1) How to make this an ad or something available to you and othe
members of the forum. (And am I allowed to do so)

2) Are there other forums where this might generate some interest an
raffle ticket sales. ($10 each, 11 for $100 and 5,000 tickets max).
would like to generate some sales as within the town of Rockwall, Texa
we never sell out.


Two years ago our club, Rockwall Breakfast Rotary generated funds an
built a childrens playground for the City Parks called Kids Zone.
think other cities have had this type project. It was in excess o
$135,000 and quite a project. We also fund national and internationa
projects, provide wheelchairs for people all over the world an
generate money to have nearly irradicated polio.

I frequent forums for my other cars, currently a Porsche and a
familiar with the type of rules and things. So if I am out of lin
posting this, or in the wrong spot, I appreciate that the admisitrato
may delete the message.

Please send me a message if this is to be the case.

Last year we raffled a Mini Cooper and I posted it on one forum and w
sold a few tickets. We will have a web site soon that will be the plac
to buy tickets with a credit card. Also I can do them personally an
will be glad to provide any information to enure you we are truely
charitable group.

Thanks,

Bil

Re: Jeep info and question
 

I don't believe it *doesn't* fit, charitable drives aren't mentioned at all
in the charter, especially in the "forbidden" list. This isn't a commercial
post, so why would it not by OK?

My advice, set up a Pay Pal account to sell tickets online, then post an
announcement with "OT" in the subject line for Off Topic. Sounds like a good
idea.

Brick, my advise to you is ask a lawyer as each state has its own
lottery rules (what you are proposing is a lottery by definition and
online gambling in its implementaion) The only exception in Oklahoma
for such a raffle is when the tickets are free and donations are accepted
or are available with purchase of another item (and free on request) as
is done in fast-food peel-n-win style lotteries. Anything else is
likely illegal here.
