Appeal-Democrat.com-YC fundraiser cancels gaming

Appeal-Democrat.com: "YC fundraiser cancels gaming

By Rob Young/Appeal-Democrat

The Yuba City Kiwanis Club has cut gambling from its Monte Carlo Night after being threatened by a state official, club Chairman Michael Barrette said Friday.

The fundraising event will be held tonight at the Peach Tree Golf & Country Club but has been renamed “A Black and White Affair”.

Peach Tree's manager received a call Thursday from the Division of Gambling Control threatening to work with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Department to suspend the club's liquor license if gambling games are played, said Barrette.

The Division of Gambling Control is part of the Department of Justice.

“We don't want to put the club in harm's way,” he said."
