WR&E Open House
On January 29th, WR&E held its rescheduled Open House. The event was originally scheduled for September 13, 2008, but as many Houstonians remember that was the eve of Hurricane Ike. WR&E was excited to share our second anniversary with everyone that has supported the Wildlife Center.
Our volunteers allow us to provide care for thousands of animals. Without their time, energy and empathy we couldn’t provide such excellent care for this underserved population. Our volunteer veterinarians provide unmatched medical care by volunteering at the Wildlife Center or accepting patients at their own practices.
Several of our supporters are graphically talented and have donated their time and creativity to enhance the Wildlife Center’s lobby, newsletter, Website (new and improved coming soon) and our educational lectures. Last but not least are the thousands of supporters who’s donations purchase the formula, food, medicine, first aid and other supplies.
WR&E was pleased to honor the Texas General Land Office Oil Spill Prevention and Response Division for providing ten years of Oiled Wildlife Response workshops; Aramco Services Company, Chevron and ConocoPhillips for fifteen continuous years of support; BP and Data Display AV Company for the monitors, cameras and educational display for the Wildlife Center lobby, Limb Design for designing the mural for the lobby, Bechtel for printing the WR&E newsletter and Marathon Oil Company for providing presentation banners.
Greg Pollock, Deputy Commissioner Texas General Land Office Oil Spill Prevention and Response Division accepts WR&E’s recognition for sponsoring ten years of Oiled Wildlife Response workshops.
WR&E also thanks our musicians from Houston Community College music department for providing entertainment, Banfi for the wine, Chevron, Webster Veterinarian Supply, IDEXX Laboratories and Schering Plough Animal for providing the food for the celebration.
