Prospect, KY (February 15, 2002) - Victims Assistance of America, Inc (VAA) -- We were delighted to get the news beamed president, Martha Steimel. Dale is well known all around the country not just here because of his past affiliation with the Louisville Ballet. Actually, he hails from Germany and has been in lead productions internationally. We couldn’t be happier that he wants to do this for our cause. Identity theft is now the nation’s number one crime. We hope to see volunteers across the country offer to do some type of fund-raisers or benefits in their area of the country to help with this mission of ours. It’s going to take a lot of participation all over to help stamp out the problem. Ms. Steimel states that at this time she is actively pursuing getting fund-raising personnel set up in different parts of the country so that there can be a continual awareness of identity theft issues and persons willing to help all across the country. “How else can you address a national problem if you’re only located in one state?” she asks. She has been stumping for other states to be aware of what she is doing in the hope that as national news hits that this organization is “officially” ready to go . . . other states will quickly jump on board to set up their division. “It is very important to stay focused on the national intent of this organization and to get as many people on the band wagon as possible” she states. Ms Steimel states, “We are phenomenally thankful to Dale for getting the ball rolling, may lots of other well intentioned persons follow suit! We’d like to have a full calendar of events across the country going on at all times . . . and . . . YOU can help!”
