It has been reported to that there may be deaf fishermen or others on the Gulf Coast who are not getting all the information they need about the oil spill because of a lack of sign language interpreters. If you know of anyone in the affected areas who needs a sign language interpreter at any of the public meetings to inform people about the spill, please tell them to call the Advocacy Center. We would like to help.
NOTE: Walker Estes is a board member of the Advocacy Center and can contact him for assistance at awestes@msn.com or 225.302.8555 vp.
