[MR] Katrina Relief: Current Efforts

[Laurie]

Raffles are a good idea and sometimes you get really great results.  I would 
point out that in some areas, city codes, and zonings laws mandate you must 
have a licence to hold a raffle.  Make sure you check with your local 
government first.  They usually charge a small fee for you to have a licence 
to hold a raffle.

Not trying to be a kill joy....

It occurs to me that raffles are more likely to raise
significant amounts of cash than silent auctions.  I can't
afford $100 for that lovely doodad, so I won't even bid,
but I can afford a $1 raffle ticket.  Or maybe even $5.

I raffled off a quilt for 9/11 and raised $1500; it
wouldn't have brought anywhere nearly that much as a
silent auction.
