Wheel of Fortune
For the last 20 years or so, our club has offered the chance to win a bottle of wine, a lottery ticket, or a Wheel of Fortune opportunity for a prize. A bit of fun in the middle of the meeting. Members pay $1. for the chance. We have made about $800.00 profit for the general revenue each year.As this has recently been deemed a game of chance rather than a game of skill, the activity becomes an event that must be licensed by Alberta's Gaming Commission.
That sounds like a lot of unnecessary work.
Tickets at the door are therefore now FREE of charge to everyone. No one pays for the opportunity to win the prizes, so it is not gambling.
We would like to continue The Wheel of Fortune and encourage members to help keep it rewarding and exciting by donating in one of three ways:
1) Donate prizes. Fun prizes always show up. Thanks folks!
Maybe sponsor a whole wedge! Consider the dozen roses spot. Great! Thanks Heather.
2) Sponsor the wine prize. Otherwise the club will pay for it. I can store it. No, really.
3) Donate cash! (a lot like sponsoring the wine prize but I buy the wine. Thanks Campbell C).
