Work at Home Workshop

This workshop will focus on helping participants to find several opportunities of legitimate sources to earn an income from home. Often people are hesitant to accept opportunities to earn money at home for fear of being fooled by scams and con schemes. These resources that we will share with and demonstrated to participants have been tried and tested. No pyramid schemes or multi-level marketing businesses will be shared. No one teaching or assisting in the class will make any money off of your work. General tips on job searching and interview techniques will also be discussed. Each participant will have an opportunity to work with an assistant to create or update their resume.

a msg from Dan Arabie

Hey LSD Alumni (LSSD & SSD in the mix)!

As devoted alumni of LSD, I, Dan Arabie, LSD ’80 would like to share an important information with y’all.

LSD is the name of deaf school in Baton Rouge where we took class lessons and then graduated. LSDAA (LSD Alumni Association) is the name of organization we are encouraged to contribute our loyal in order to maintain the potential recognition.

Since few years, LSDAA has been inactive; every each of you is urged to continually support our old dear LSD. I just created a public poll saying, “Do you think LSDAA should be taking a place for a meeting during the 2015 Homecoming Day?” Please visit www.deafbayou.com to cast your vote(s). Your participant in casting votes would play an important role that is greatly appreciated in order to bring up to an attention to LSDAA’s re-consideration of possibly arranging to have a meeting and hold an election for the positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Hall of Fame Coordinator.

Unity for LSDAA as stay closer to our dear old LSD!

Deaf Bayours,

Dan Arabie, LSD ’80 & GU ‘14
