Volunteers from the Cajun Clickers Computer Club in Baton Rouge were busy again yesterday, inputting data for our Katrina Pet Rescue Project. Cajun Clickers is an all-volunteer computer club, with almost 1,800 families as members.
We are the primary input site for rescue my pet phone calls and emails to the official Katrina pet rescue addresses.
We thought that Tuesday (9/13) would be our last day, but the State's Office of Animal Health Services asked us to keep going.
We finally got some publicity yesterday!
First up was The Advocate, Baton Rouge's newspaper. We got a picture and caption on the Club News pages, not the real news section, but it was our first published acknowledgement of our efforts.
The OAHS has been working on the TV stations. Our own publicity director Vera Martin has been working on the print and TV media. Their efforts finally paid off!
Yesterday, Avery Davidson of WAFB / Channel 9 came to see what we're doing and to interview me. We expect this to be on the 5pm or 6pm news today (Friday) on WAFB.
