The ARC is non-profit, but as ares said, we can still generate funds for the club. In fact, we have to, to be able to pay for speakers, meeting locations, cards, corals to be fragged, etc, etc.
As a Board member, I'd only support this as a club-related activity if it were going to generate money for the club- IE. We'll take 35 or more people's raffle tickets and the club keeps the difference. Otherwise, the volunteer running it is doing it for neither the club's benefit or their own, which isn't very respectful of their time. I'm not trying to make the club money as much as protecting a volunteer's time. Make sense?
However, members of the club aren't bound to any set of rules. As long as it's not destructive to the club, a member can meet other people, host a frag swap, hold a raffle, or do whatever we want. We're a club of people, not a commune.
