The founders believe there are many reasons for joining T.A. C.A., including a growing and desperate need for an official organization to benefit small animals and their owners. . Therefore, the committee de veloped a state-wide membership campaign, with all major metro politan areas assigned to volun teers for charter year enroll ments. Dr. Ellett said applications and brochures that fully explain T.A. C.A. should be available from most pet stores, grooming par lors, veterinary offices and local Chamber of Commerce offices. Potential Texas membership in T.A.C.A. was estimated by Dr. Ellett at nine million persons. This means a one per cent mem bership would bring a substantial 90,000 members, he pointed out. Individuals presently in dog, cat, kennel and exotic pet clubs are encouraged to join T.A.C.A., plus individual n - wners with out club affiliation “If you have a pet, you belong in T.A.C.A.,” is ( .he organiza tion’s membership drive theme. One particular interest of the organization is small animal dis ease research. The state at pres ent does not directly support small animal research and money from other sources is very lim ited, Dr. Ellett noted. T.A.C.A. members will devote substantial effort to alleviating this inequity, he added. The T.A.C.A,. president said activities will Include educational programs for young people in prudent selection and care of pets, owner-breeder assistance m current trends of health prac tices and o dedicated effort, to alert the public to animal abuse. T.A.C.A. membership benefits include a monthly newsletter to each member, an annual sym posium featuring experts in ■BH small privileges, eligibility to hold office and an information service if funds permit. T.A.C.A. is not responsible to any other animal or professional group. Organizers hope to aug ment other programs In the state, Dr. Ellett said.
