From Chet Faith at Department Headquarters:  This great opportunity came across my desk and I wanted to share it with you first. This is open to ALL people who work with non-profit organizations. Please consider going and contact Heidi at your earliest convenience.  It's being held at American Legion Post 100 in Sparta

Calling all of those that work in the Not-For-Profit world that host raffles to raise money -- The Sparta Area Chamber of Commerce recently had the pleasure of working with the State Auditor and boy, did we learn A LOT!  So, we figured that we would share this new found information with our membership and others.  We are hosting an informal get together so that we can all learn together the rights and wrongs of holding raffles in our state. 
 
When:  Monday, June 20th
Time: 4:30 PM
Where: The Sparta American Legion, 1116 Angelo Road
What's Provided:  Handouts and snacks.  Beverages are on you.
 
Email me at ceo@bikesparta.com or give me a call to register at (608) 269-4123.  It is open to any and all groups that raise money for their cause, so feel free to share it as well.
 
Thank you so much and we are looking forward to seeing you!
