Hi Angi,<div>If you want to be sure you're on the straight and narrow, the best thing to do is connect with the Department of</div><div>Justice in Portland. They'll help you to be sure that you're within their guidelines of either being fine doing what you're doing or registering it with them. They're very easy to work with and sound much more ominous than they are. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I've worked with them on a few different fundraisers and they were great and really walked me through what I needed to do. And it wasn't prohibitively expensive either.</div><div>Lorraine</div>

Hi ~<br><br>Does anyone know if there are any legalities we should look into regarding a Bingo and 50/50 Raffle fundraiser? We are looking at doing this on a monthly basis as an on-going fundraiser (another organization I volunteer for makes $1,000 - $2,000 every couple months with this).<br>
<br>I've heard that one or both of these may fall under gambling guidelines or something like that so we are looking for anyone with experience that can advise us on what we may need to do to make sure we're not breaking any rules with this type of a fundraiser.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
