WAFB Channel 9 gave us an opportunity to talk about our volunteers' efforts on our Cajun Clickers Katrina Pet Rescue Project this morning on their “Sunday 9 News This Morning” show. Cajun Clickers members are volunteers working for the State's Office of Animal Health Services and providing “pets to be rescued” data to the Louisiana SPCA and HSUS. Lori Main and I represented the Cajun Clickers Computer Club as we were interrviewed by Scott Oswalt on the live show.
That makes two recent news reports about our project. WAFB also interviewed me and filmed in our computer lab on Thursday as Cajun Clickers volunteers were working on our project.
Friday's short piece was combined with a news report about the shelters for rescued animals and was broadcast during Friday's 10pm news and in the “Local News” repeat shows that WAFB does on cable channel 9 on Friday night and Saturday. (Channel 9 is their broadcast channel, but their broadcast is found on Channel 7 on our cable system — channel 9 cable is a WAFB continually-running local news repeat).
The Cajun Clickers Computer Club's facilities include two large lecture rooms with instructor computers and projection systems; a computer lab with 15 student computers, instructor computer and a projection system for the instructor's coputer, a “community computer” area where members can use computers for personal use, and several offices and work areas.
