A Note to the Wise:

While planning for this raffle, I learned that the state of Florida has statutes for conducting legal raffles. They are listed under Title XLVI, Chapter 849 section 849.0935: Charitable, nonprofit organizations; drawings by chance; required disclosures; unlawful acts and practices; penalties. This information is available from the Florida Justice Department (phone: 1-850-435-7352) and on the Internet http://www.leg.state.fl.us/citizen/documents/statutes.

AAUW Educational Foundation is registered with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (phone: 1-800-435-7352). Any branch considering a raffle is advised to check out and comply with state requirements.
