Dear Members,

I regret to inform you that we are unable to continue our monetary donations due to a recent investigation by the Liquor Control Enforcement (LCE) that found us to be non-compliant regarding the number of fish bowls we are allowed to operate. Unfortunately, exceeding the limit has led to possible revocation of our small games of chance license, pending a mandate by an administrative law judge hearing.

This situation deeply saddens me, as we have relied on the revenue generated to support numerous community entities. Over the years, I have formed close connections with many of you, and I want to express my sincere apologies for the hardship this situation may cause.

Our only hope for a resolution lies in legislative action to increase the payout limits. It is frustrating to see that, unlike many other states, Pennsylvania does not permit unlimited fish bowls with a flat fee tax, which would allow us to continue operating successfully. This change would benefit our community, keep jobs intact, and contribute substantial funds to Harrisburg while helping local organizations that rely on our support.

We have been running our operations in good faith for nearly 100 years without any adverse effects—quite the opposite, in fact. Thousands of people have benefited from the donations we’ve made. We fully understand that laws are necessary to maintain order and protect the safety of citizens. However, in this case, the law seems to favor large casinos at the expense of local, small-scale efforts that do immense good for the community.

We are not asking for anyone to disregard the law, but we do believe that the positive impact of our work should be considered when evaluating the rules that govern us. It is time for us, as a community, to advocate for a change that helps the "little guy” and ensures that our support for local entities—who do not receive state or federal funding—can continue.

I encourage you to join us in this fight. Let’s work together to make our voices heard! We have included contact information for our state and local legislators—let’s ring their phones off the hook and make sure our concerns are addressed before it’s too late.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Don Hershey
