What time is it???... IT'S RAFFLE TIME!!

I am hosting a very special raffle guys... this one is for TGI's Neuter Fund!!! Karen and TGI's board members have had to turn away numerous neuters for lack of funds! I really hope that we as a community can pull together and help the gliders that need neutering, we all know how important neutering is for our rescue effort.. lets get the population down!!...

Soooo, 100% of all proceeds will be donated to TGI Neuter Fund!

I am asking for some special magic here from our community vendors, breeders,rescuers and chat board members to come together and donate to this much needed cause! We know the economy is horrible for so many.. but together we can move mountains!!

I would love to get this going by next weekend, November 7th. It will be posted on Critterbin.

I have received a gaming permit issued from the Commonwealth of Virginia to host this raffle with all proceeds being donated to The Glider Initiative a 5013c non profit organization.

For those of you that would like to donate please list your donation here in this thread or pm me.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO OTHER CHAT BOARDS AND GLIDER LOVERS!!

The permit number will be made available upon the start-up of the raffle.

In 2006, the president of the United States expanded the Federal Wire Wager Act to include the use internet, making it illegal to transfer money over state lines for purpose of gambling using internet

The law has been interpreted by some, including the Department of Justice, to mean that all online gambling is illegal. However, U.S. Courts have ruled to the contrary. Some argue that the law only covers sports betting, and not other forms of gambling such as poker.

The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the Wire Act applies only to sports betting and not other types of online gambling. The Supreme Court has not ruled on the meaning of the Federal Wire Act as it pertains to online gambling
