Fundraising Raffle to Benefit Residents of Village du Lac

There are only a few more weeks to purchase your tickets!

One of our long-time members is doing great work in our community! I wanted to get the word out about the fundraiser she is involved with, and she has explained it quite well in the message below.  Please take the time to read it, and thank you in advance for your support!!


A message from one of our members, Lisa:


"Some of you know that I volunteer with the deaf and deaf/blind but you probably do not know where I do my volunteering at. I volunteer at the Village du Lac here in Lafayette, LA which is housing for the elderly and disabled adults, in particular the deaf and deaf/blind. You probably also do not know that Acadiana has the highest number of deaf/blind residents in the United States.

I am trying to raise money to help these residents as they do not receive many, if at all, donations or assistance from the government. Due to lack of funds, they have had to discontinue many programs, activities, etc.　

　

I am selling raffle tickets for $50.00 each for a chance to win $500.00 CASH every Saturday for an entire year....that’s 52 chances for only $50.00. Yes, that’s right you can win $500.00 CASH every week for an entire year with no limitations, i.e., you can win once, or 52 times. That’s a 1 in 1,000 chance to win $500.00 weekly for an entire year.

Beginning on January 7, 2012, which is the first Saturday in 2012, watch the Louisiana Pick 3 drawing at night to see if the last three numbers on your ticket number match the Pick 3 drawing held on each Saturday and if it does match you will win $500.00 cash. If you win, you can contact us or if we do not hear from you, we will contact you. The raffle will continue on each Saturday until the last Saturday in 2012, which is December 29, 2012.

　

There are only 1,000 tickets available and all tickets must be sold in order for us to have this raffle. If you are interested in purchasing a ticket (or two), you (or friends/family) must be 21 years of age, a legal resident of the U.S. and a resident of Louisiana. Please use the contact information below if you are interested in purchasing a ticket to help the residents of Village du Lac. I have provided a flyer with some important dates and/or information. Feel free to share this and/or the attached flyer to your friends, family or co-workers. If we do not sell every ticket, we will refund your money. Please help us to make this raffle a success for the deaf and deaf/blind adult and elderly residents of the Village du Lac.

You can contact Paulette for tickets or questions at (337) 654-4193 or vdl_activities2011@yahoo.com. Your support is greatly really appreciated by us and the residents of Village du Lac."

Thanks again and good luck!!!
