RAFFLE
A way to get you to spend $2 in the mistaken belief that you have a
newt's chance in a grinder of winning a hamper/car/holiday. There's
something just not quite right about the principle of making money
for charities which involves giving away expensive prizes. There's
probably a loop-hole in the raffle laws that allows the raffle
organisers *not* to give away prizes if the proceeds are to
charity.
Most proceeds actually go to rebuilding churches, upgrading
kindergartens, etc. The more dubious ones go to sending brass bands
to Queensland, building athletics clubs, and of course the newly
created Custard Development Fund. The Custard Development Fund is
dedicated to sending the author of Toxic Custard on a Hawaiian
holiday.
