Clubs may conduct a raffle via meetings / mailings / retailers, or however they decide. The House of Peers must ensure that the proceeds from these prototypes is given to charity, per the request of Martin Perry and Noel Wiggins. Clubs will submit their raffle proceeds to HOP. In turn, HOP will issue a check, made out to the charity or charities specified by the clubs, where the club will present the check to their charity.

Rules:

Each raffle ticket will cost $5, allowing multiple chances to win. The prizes will be four (4) prototypes, raffled separately, donated by Martin Perry and Harmony Ball Company. All proceeds go to the charities of the Independent Clubs. The drawing will be held at The Limited Edition in New York, September 26, 1999. Martin Perry will draw the four (4) winning tickets.

Tickets should be a standard two-part ticket in any color desired. The donor must print their name and telephone number clearly on each ticket. The clubs initials must also be included on each ticket for identification assistance.

Each club sells tickets however they wish. When sales are completed, they send the tickets and a check to: HK House of Peers c/o HOP Charity Coordinator, with the exact name of their charity. HOP will validate the number of tickets with the amount of money received. After the drawings, the winners will receive the prototypes by mail. The HOP Treasurer will then send each club a check, payable to the club's designated charity, for the amount of money received.

The drawing will be held on September 26, 1999.  All entries must be received by HOP by September 13, 1999, to allow adequate processing time. Clubs have already started planning their raffles.
