SET TOWN MEETING DATE RE; Public Act No. 11-34, Act Permitting the Mailing of Raffle Tickets and the Use of Coupons and Incentives to Purchase Raffle Tickets, Connecticut General Statutes, Sections 7-170 to 7-186 – proposed date, August 30, 2011.

Selectman Wawruck clarified that this Special Meeting was being held at the request of the Lion’s Club. He explained that the Lion’s Club has always begun the process of selling raffle tickets on a yearly basis during the August/October timeframe. Upon the request by the Lion’s Club to conduct a raffle this year they discovered that a new Statue was passed allowing municipalities to oversee the raffle process versus the State Police. The Lion’s Club has now contacted the Town to make sure that the requirements for the new legislation are in place so that their raffle ticket process can be moved forward. The town will need to adopt the new legislation via a Town Meeting before the Lion’s Club can hold their fund raiser. The urgency of this meeting is to give the Lion’s Club ample time to gather a committee, order the tickets, and gather the necessary lists before their first meeting in September.

Selectman Calsetta added that this new legislation will also benefit Dollars for Scholars, the Windsor Locks Volunteer Fire Department and any other groups who rely on these types of fund raising.

Selectman Calsetta moved to add the following resolution to the Town Meeting date that has been set for Wednesday, August 30, 2011 @ 7:30 p.m., at the Windsor Locks Town Hall as follows:

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN, AUGUST 19, 2011
