7A ¥ ea SEER RL a es i I Sunday, February 24, 2013 THE DALLAS POST PAGE 11 RACES Continued from Page 1 “We had the gym reserved, in- surance purchased and tickets printed,” Rollman said, indicat- ing the church has returned the club’s deposit on the gymnasium and the money it used to pay an surance premium. Rollman indicated the Night at the Races usually brought in anywhere from $2,500 to $3,000 for the club. “We have enough to get us through the rest of this year,” he said of the club’s treasury. “But we’re now forced to cut back on some of our budgeted items.” Club treasurer Joe Canfield said cancellation of the Night at the Races will force the scaling back of many of this fiscal year’s budget-approved donations. Don Berlew, a four-year mem- ber of the club who co-chairs the Night at the Races with Roll- man, said about 85 to 90 percent of the club’s 32 members get in- volved with the event. “It’s a lot of work,” he said. “But it was the best promotion we had and everybody got in- volved with it. It brought friends, families and neighbors together for a night of fun and we never had any trouble.” Maggie Giannelli, legislative director in Sen. Lisa Baker’s Har- risburg office, said the senator is a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 390 which addresses concerns of or- ganizations like the Dallas Lions Club that depend on profits from small games of chance to fund their charitable efforts. House Bill 390 was introduced in the Senate on Feb. 4 and re- ferred to the Senate Finance Committee where it will be dis- cussed for consideration. From there, it will move to the Appro- priations Committee, of which Baker is a member. Brenda Zablotsky, legislative secretary in Rep. Karen Boback’s Harrisburg office, said House Bill 290, of which Boback is a co-sponsor and which would al- low events like Night at the Races to be held, passed the House of Representatives last week by a vote of 186-10. That bill will now be sent to the Sen- ate where it will pass through standing committees before be- ing brought before the entire Senate. While those bills make their way through the legislature, members of the Dallas Lions Club continue to discuss possi- ble fundraising efforts to take the place of their annual Night at the Races. “The last thing we need is to have 200 people at an event and have the State Police come in and tell us they're going to fine us and everybody has to leave,” Berlew said.
