Hi gang. I attended a seminar last night (with another one tonight) with the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commision (http://www.aglc.gov.ab.ca). It looks as though CLUG *MIGHT* qualify for a casino. I'm looking into this further.
The last casino payout to organizations that had taken part in the program was in the neighborhood of $70K. The amount is not guaranteed, and cannot be depended on, but it's still likely to be a good chunk of change. The question that then comes out of this is "What does CLUG want the money for?" So, I'd like to invite everyone to discuss ways CLUG might use a large amount of money. Anything is fair game here, as we are just speculating. But if we proceed with getting access to a casino, we'll have to be able to state explicitly what the cash will be used for. Of course, there are some things that would not qualify (anything that benefits an individual is pretty much out), but that's what these seminar's are for, and we can filter out non-qualifying items later. My thoughts on the use of the cash: - Promotion of CLUG (i.e. TV/Radio commercials, professional promotion, etc.) - Financing prominent guest speakers - Possible purchase of a facility for CLUG What are your thoughts? Shawn (PS. I'm attending these seminars with the Avro Museum (http://www.avromuseum.ca) where I am also a board member. But I'm always looking for ways to improve CLUG.) _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
