No person shall solicit contributions or anything else of value for any real or alleged charitable or religious purpose without a permit from the City Recorder authorizing such solicitation. This section shall not apply to any locally established organization or church operated exclusively for charitable or religious purposes if the solicitations are conducted exclusively among the members thereof, voluntarily and without remuneration for making such solicitations, or if the solicitations are in the form of collections or contributions at the regular assemblies of any such established organization or church.
