Volunteer of the Year Award March 20th, 2006
In February, I received a “2005 Volunteer of the Year” award at the Cajun Clickers Computer Club’s volunteer appreciation dinner. Everything at the Cajun Clickers (www.clickers.org) is done by volunteers!
I was recognized for my work leading the Cajun Clickers Katrina Pet Rescue Project, as an volunteer instructor, as a PC Tune-up volunteer, as member of the web site maintenance staff, as one of the Cajun Clickers Radio Show hosts, and other volunteer work.
Two other volunteers were selected also to receive Volunteer of the Year awards also: Penny Cano (PC guru and instructor of our popular “Computers for the Dumb and Dumber” series) and Pete Galik (head of our 2005 garage sale and a volunteer for almost everything).
We have over 1,500 families as members of this all-volunteer computer users group in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Membership includes the immediate family (those living in the same house). Visit our web site to see this month’s schedule of programs.
Cajun Clickers has a monthly general meeting, and many other meetings, too. We usually have 40 to 60 educational events (classes, workshops and special interest group meetings) at our permanent offices, and there is no extra charge for these events.
We also have a mailed monthly newsletter, available via download, too, our Cajun Clickers Radio Show every Saturday morning at 9am CST on WJBO (you can listen on-line at www.wjbo.com), and active mailing lists. We have two lecture rooms and a computer lab (15 student computers), all equipped with instructor PCs and projectors.
