As a member of this fraternal organization, I have had the pleasure to help support many non-profit organizations in our community.  Organizations that participate in charitable gaming do so much for national, state, and local charities.  Further restrictions on gaming funds will be detrimental to these organization's abilities to continue to carry out charitable donations and for many of them, it will mean closure and those supported by the lodges will suffer.  We ask our legislators to oppose any further restrictions on charitable gaming.  Please allow us to continue to support non-profit charitable organizations like we have done for so many years.

Thank you,

Jamie Cook
