Raffles are immensely popular. They sure help a lot in allowing us (the club) to bring in cool speakers.

However, there are MANY members that can't make it to meetings.

Could we occasionally, have a raffle item (preferably a nice one) where the raffle tickets can be bought through the "WMAS Store"? We could give the winner, 2 weeks to pick it up, after which, we select a new winner.

I think something like this could bring in a LOT of needed cash for guests (or replace equipment). It would also be a nice benefit for members that can't come to the meetings.

It might also get more "publicity" to the WMAS Store.

Is an on-line raffle legal in Utah?

techniqally it is but I'm sure there's a way around it as many other orgs have done it.

Great idea. I am a paid member and have not been able to make it to a meeting. My schedule is pretty full and it never seems to work out when meetings come around.
