Due to the Tropical Storm Warnings for Baton Rouge from Hurricane Rita, we have wrapped up our volunteer project a couple days early. Yesterday, Thursday 9/22, was the last day of the Cajun Clickers Katrina Pet Rescue Project.
Cajun Clickers Computer Club volunteers have been volunteering for the State of Louisiana's Office of Animal Health Services (part fo the Louisiana Department. of Agriculture. & Forestry), and through them, assisting the Louisiana SPCA (www.la-spca.org) and the Humane Society of the United States (www.hsus.org ).
Cajun Clickers volunteers inputted data from Tuesday September 6th through Thursday, September 22nd in the Clickers Computer Lab. We entered data into spreadsheets to log pets to be rescued, reports of lost pets, offers to volunteer, offers to foster and offers to donate goods. We added over 7,000 records to the tracking spreadsheet. We got two batches of data per day, input the data, consolidated the spreadsheets and sent updated spreadsheets to the State and the LA-SPCA and HSUS rescue coordinators each night.
Many thanks to the many Cajun Clickers Computer Club members who volunteered for this huge effort.
