Gambling
The Las Vegas theme fundraiser does not involve gambling for money. People receive play money for the games. The play money will be used to bid on the door prizes. The $45 per person or $60 per couple is a donation to the Right to Life cause. The games are part of the entertainment.
I share the sentiment that we not promote gambling, BINGO or otherwise. There is an important distinction in how fundraisers such as this are run. We are not profiting from gambling but from the donations only.
I would consider raffles as within acceptable limts.

Thank you for the clarification.
Well-stated, and thank you for clarifying this. I'll make sure it's reprinted in the bulletin to reflect this as well.
