So I think we need a little coordination of our efforts &
consolidation of the facts so far:

The Facts:

The Owner/Fez Moai is currently asking $1000 for Rufus w/Tank.

We are on a two week timetable until Rufus has to be removed from the building for a remodel.

No Tiki establishments so far will take him & it doesn't look like that will change.

Jorge Mastache (626-893-3490), Long time caretaker of the Aquariums & Rufus for the Bahooka
should be included & consulted with finding Rufus a new home.

The situation so far:

All of us have been talking to people, but what has come of this?

SoCal Savage has contacted a L.A. Times online reporter, has anyone else?
The L.A. area TC Ohana,should work on this because they may have to meet any media reporters
to get the story out there, but this can make a big difference.

Do we have any interested "Individuals" who can take & care for Rufus?
This will be a big responsibility!

We should apply friendly pressure to get the owner to "donate" Rufus if possible
I know a $1000 is alot of money for most of us, after all we are doing him a big favor
in relocating Rufus, so he can begin his remodel.

First Priority is locating a new home for Rufus
Second is facilitating it
Third is getting together & having a drink to a job well done.

As far as any interested "Individuals" who can take & care for Rufus, it sounds like that's possibly covered.
