I received this and figured I should forward it out to others !!
I was told " The wolf Haven Run is no longer " because of this in Washington . It was a great Run.....

Some things are going on that I am not sure if you guys over are aware of.

The state Gambling Commission has deemed it necessary to go after bike
clubs and in particular poker runs and 50/50's and what ever else they can
think of.

This spring they told Wolf Haven over here which sponsors a poker run every
year to raise funds. It has always been a successful run for them with good
attendance. Anyway the Gambling commission told them they were in violation
of the law and could be subject to rather large fines.

This last weekend there was a bunny run scheduled in Auburn I believe.
Anyway they came in and shut them down before they could even get going.
We are all exploring options as it is a source of funds for both clubs and
charities. Also even if you are a registered non profit there are permit
fees that can cost you more than you could bring in.

Just a word to you guys be careful especially with what you put in print.
They are after us. And they are not even being subtle about it.

Passing it along...
