Trouble in California

Charities have been holding casino nights, Monte Carlo nights, Reno nights for years to raise money, but California state agents are suddenly shutting them down because they’re illegal. Until recently, law enforcement agencies traditionally have not been enforcing this law, recognizing that it was ill-written. In fact, a state bill is working its way through the legislature to correct the wording. In the interim, however, the Attorney General's Office began to suddenly enforce the law. The monetary loss to casino party companies and other industries, such as the non profit organizations themselves, truck rentals, tuxedo shops, venues, decorators, etc. is anticipated to top $ 300,000,000 for 2006 alone.
Casino party companies in California are uniting to try to stop the actions of the Attorney General’s Office until the new bill passes and goes into effect in 2007. They are asking for public support by mail or email so that they can go to the AG office to show the impact their actions are having on the state’s economy. For more information, write Casino Fundraising, 4718 Meridian Ave, PMB 93, San Jose, CA 95118; or call Rafael Lopez, 408-314-4434, 408-293-5213 (fax); or email casinofundraising@comcast.net
