It is always conducted at the annual conference, which in Nov. 2012 will be in northern Ca. We raffle off a large number of items and services, all of which are donated. The proceeds cover the expenses of the auction first, and then all of the rest (the vast majority) go directly to the organization, and a sister non-profit. I am compensated for my work by the main organization, which is something I can change or even forgo; the other work which I do is all on a volunteer basis.<br />We do not sell any tickets, nor conduct the raffle, over the internet. It is all done on the spot, at the conference over a period of 3 days.<br />So I understand I need to register with the AG, apparently Sept. 1st for the Nov. event, and that I will need to file a report by the end of that fiscal year. But I am wondering if everything else will be legal. We auction hundreds of items divided between 3 days, all of them donated. The organization is based in Washington DC, but is actually international. Does this change things?<br />I appreciate any advice or responses which you can give, as this is a wee bit more than I bargained for, in terms of submitting to California law!<br />Thank you,<br />Maureen Diaz<br />www.westonaprice.org<br />www.ftcldf.orgMaureen Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162729886888428510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4428710973462080274.post-30329547875316353262010-01-02T11:43:33.819-08:002010-01-02T11:43:33.819-08:00nice, thanks for the info. great blognice, thanks for the info. great blogCommercial Mediation & Arbitration Centerhttp://www.medart-al.org/noreply@blogger.com
