1. No person shall hold, operate or conduct any  game  of  bingo  under  any  license  issued under this article except a bona fide
  member of the authorized organization to which the  license  is  issued,
  and  no  person  shall assist in the holding, operating or conducting of
  any game of bingo under such license except such a bona fide member or a
  bona fide member of an organization or association which is an auxiliary
  to the licensee or a bona fide member of an organization or  association
  of  which  such  licensee  is  an  auxiliary or a bona fide member of an
  organization or association which is affiliated  with  the  licensee  by
  being,  with  it,  auxiliary  to another organization or association and
  except bookkeepers or accountants  as  hereinafter  provided.  Provided,
  however, any person may assist the licensed organization in any activity
  related  to  the  game  of  bingo  which  does  not actually involve the
  holding, conducting, managing or operating of such  game  of  bingo.  No
  game of bingo shall be conducted with any equipment except such as shall
  be owned absolutely or leased by the authorized organization so licensed
  or  used  without  payment of any compensation therefor by the licensee.
  Lease terms and conditions shall be subject  to  rules  and  regulations
  promulgated  by  the  board.  This  article  shall  not  be construed to
  authorize or permit an authorized organization to engage in the business
  of leasing bingo supplies or equipment. No items  of  expense  shall  be
  incurred  or paid in connection with the conducting of any game of bingo
  pursuant to any license issued under this article, except those that are
  reasonable  and  are  necessarily  expended  for  bingo   supplies   and
  equipment,  prizes,  stated  rental  if  any,  bookkeeping or accounting
  services according to a  schedule  of  compensation  prescribed  by  the
  commission, janitorial services and utility supplies if any, and license
  fees,  and  the cost of bus transportation, if authorized by the control
  commission.
    2. Notwithstanding any provision of this article to  the  contrary,  a
  person  who is a bona fide member of an organization licensed to conduct
  the game of bingo and is also a bona fide member of one  or  more  other
  organizations  which are also licensed to conduct the game of bingo, and
  such organizations are not affiliates  or  auxiliaries  of  the  others,
  shall  be  authorized  to operate, conduct or assist in the operation or
  conduct of games of bingo held by any of such organizations licensed  to
  conduct bingo.
