lottery material including raffle tickets, stubs, and payment for
raffle tickets. Following discussion, the Board decided that there is
no intent to put their fund-raising license at risk. From this point
forward, lottery tickets will not be mailed to each member of the Fox
Lake Property Owners. Instead, lottery tickets will be dispersed
directly to the purchaser, the seller, or the household of a member.
