Authorities investigate raffle tickets scam

Authorities investigate raffle tickets scam
STAFF REPORTS • APRIL 28, 2010
A deaf woman posing as a representative of the Deaf Action Center of Louisiana is selling phony raffle tickets door to door for $5 each, Executive Director David Hylan said.
He's alerted the Caddo sheriff's office of the scam and is passing along information to the agency's white collar crimes division.

After learning of the scam, Hylan sent out e-mails to members of the center's Facebook group warning of the scam and describing her as a short, white woman.

Deputies are working to determine how many tickets were sold. If you were sold or offered a ticket, call deputies at (318) 425-7781.

Senator Mary Landrieu to Present Stimulus Check

As you know, the Federal Government has awarded the Deaf Action Center $1.4 million in stimulus funding for our AccessAmerica Video Remote Interpreting program.

Senator Mary Landrieu will be here at the Center (601 Jordan St) on Tuesday, March 30th at 1pm to officially present the grant award to us.

It would mean a great deal to Betty Phillips, our chairs, Gregory and Heidi Kallenberg, as well as, our president Patty Warmack if you could attend and be a part of this very historic occasion.

This is a momentous occasion for our Center and the community at-large. Please make every effort to attend!
