Thank you for taking time to consider sponsorship for the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day event produced by
Seniors And Law enforcement Together (the St. Tammany SALT Council, Inc.).

The SALT Council is a 501C3 non-profit corporation dedicated to assisting St. Tammany Senior Citizens to be safer
and more secure in their everyday lives. This is accomplished through educational efforts that address crucial
issues: Elder Abuse, ID Theft, Residential & Personal Security, Fire Safety, Driving Safety, Scams & Frauds,
Emergency Preparedness, and other topics that may become timely and important.

Elder Abuse is the most pressing of the issues facing safety of our elderly citizens today. Best estimates are that
less than 5% of all Elder Abuse incidents are reported, and nationally that amounts to approximately three million
reports annually. A recent 15-year study produced dramatic evidence of the lethality of Elder Abuse: the 1-year
mortality rate of Elder Abuse victims is 181% higher than non-victims, and for those victims with pre-existing cardiac
health issues, the 1-year mortality rate increased 400%. Simply put, Elder Abuse kills.

June 15th of each year is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and the SALT Council produces the only recognition
of this important occurrence in Louisiana. As in the last three years, the Council will conduct a 1-day seminar for
professionals in the legal, medical, home care, and social services professions. There will also be two public forums
to help all citizens to be proactive in combating this enormous problem. The annual seminar has attracted
professionals from all of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. The seminar, to be held at the Harbor Center in Slidell, is a
costly proposition. If there is insufficient sponsorship, the attendees must pay a higher fee to attend, especially to
qualify for Continuing Education credits. The higher individual costs adversely impact attendance reduce the spread
of information.

National estimates indicate that over ½ of all Elder Abuse includes financial exploitation, so this will be a featured
topic of the seminar and the public forums. I hope to see significant attendance by employees from the financial
services industry, including bank tellers, loan specialists, financial planners, bank security personnel, etc.

I have attached a draft of the seminar schedule and a list of sponsorship levels for this event. I would appreciate the
opportunity to meet with you or any other representative of your organization to discuss this in greater detail.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Ralph A. Oneal
Chairman

Joint Sponsorships
The SALT Council will assist in coordinating joint sponsorships by the same parent organization, i.e.,
several offices or franchises of the same company would contribute to the sponsorship. Such joint
sponsorships would include the same benefits as a standard sponsorship, and would include specific
