Problem: Article: Your state may prohibit raffles. Other states place regulations on how many raffles non-profit organizations can conduct per year and the types of prizes that are allowed. Consult your state's laws about raffles or, better yet, talk to an attorney. Avoid prizes that could cause legal problems. Prizes over $600 might draw the attention of the IRS. Also, avoid prizes that are tightly regulated, such as alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. You might get into legal trouble if a disgruntled loser decides to challenge the contest. If the rules are spelled out clearly, you can mitigate some of that liability. Be sure to cite the appropriate provision of your state law in your raffle rules. For example: "This raffle is conducted according to the rules of the state of [your state here] in accordance with [cite the reference to the law here]." Spell out the rules in plain English. For example: "Entrants purchase a ticket which is placed into a box and blindly drawn at random." Use common sense for your raffle rules. Make it clear that your organization has some discretion in handing out prizes. For example, if a ticket is drawn and nobody claims the prize, another ticket can be drawn. State in the rules whether entrants are required to be there in person when the drawing occurs. All raffles promise at least one lucky winner a prize at the end of the drawing. There may be more than one raffle contest prize, or even prize levels (first, second, third, etc.) based on order of the draw. You can get local businesses to donate prizes as a tax write-off. That will save your organization some money. It's a great idea to go to your local shopping mall and talk to managers in each store at the mall to solicit prizes. Gift certificates at popular stores make great prizes. That way, you're giving out a prize but in reality the winner is picking out his or her own prize at the store. Raffle tickets need certain information on them, regardless of your event or organization: You can use your favorite word processor to print the raffle tickets. On one side of the ticket (the stub side), list the following organization/event information: organization name, address and phone number; list of prizes; event name; drawing date and website. On the opposite side of the ticket, provide spaces for participants to fill in their information: participant name, address, phone number, and email address. Tickets may or may not have numbers on them. Some state regulations require numbers, so look into the rules for your particular state before having tickets printed.
Summary: Check the local government regulatory agencies to make sure your organization can legally hold a raffle. Define rules for your raffle. Decide on a prize. Print tickets.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This can help to prevent an infection and soften the ingrown toenail. Then, put two drops of tea tree oil on the nail. Let the tea tree soak in and then finish with a dab of Vick's VapoRub or Mentholatum on the ingrown toenail. The menthol and the camphor will help to reduce the pain and soften the nail further. Apply a bandage or a small piece of gauze to keep the menthol and camphor on the toenail. The following day, soak your toe again for 20 minutes and then take out a small piece of cotton. Roll it between your fingers so it makes a inch long cotton "tube." Use clean hands to tape one end of the cotton tube to the top of your toe and then lift the corner of the ingrown toenail up and out with one finger. Use your other finger to work the free end of the cotton tube under the nail and then out the other side. The cotton should sit between the skin and the nail. Keep in mind this process can be painful. You may need to ask someone else for assistance to help you slide the cotton tube under the corner of the nail. Make sure you also apply tea tree oil and the menthol-camphor ointment to keep your toenail soft and to prevent infection. You can also put some tea tree oil on the cotton tube. Avoid using nail files, tweezers, or nail cutters, as these can break or damage the skin. This can then lead to an infection. Wear white cotton socks and keep your feet clean. Colored dyes on socks can get into your nail and lead to more inflammation.
Summary: Soak your foot in warm water. Use a small piece of cotton to lift the ingrown. Replace the cotton every day after soaking your foot.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Develop a routine that suits your schedule, and the more you follow that routine, the more comfortable the environment will feel. If you prefer to work out in the off-hours, continue doing that, or try a workout during peak times once you feel comfortable enough to do so. Working out at the same time every day or week will also help you recognize regulars and employees and find more friendly faces. Once you've established a basic routine with the classes and exercises that fit your needs, let yourself become confident in these activities before trying to master too many new things. Adding in new activities gradually will help keep you from getting overwhelmed and discouraged. Feeling clueless and trying to figure out what to do each time you go to the gym can be a source of anxiety. If you're having a hard time finding a groove when working out, a personal trainer can help you figure out a routine that works best for you. Having someone guide you through the workout process helps you know that you're doing the exercises right and can boost your confidence. Even just five sessions can teach you some new exercises and take some of the guesswork and stress out of working out.
Summary:
Find a time that works for you and stick with it. Build up your skills and comfort level before adding new elements to your workout. Sign up for a personal trainer.
