New Fundraising Opportunity 6/11/09

By linking a number of sites electronically, remote caller bingo allows a large number of people to play at the same time. Recently legalized by legislation co-sponsored by CAN, remote caller is intended to generate larger prize pools and revive interest in charity bingo, which has been a source of significant income for thousands of nonprofits for generations. Further information is available from the California Gambling Control Commission ( http://www.cgcc.ca.gov/). And if you think you might use remote caller bingo, please let us know by contacting CAN Public Policy Director Ken Larsen klarsen@Canonprofits.org so that we can track the impact of this fundraising tool and assist you with any problems you may experience.
