By by Ken Stanford
OAKWOOD - Lanier Tech is joining the hurricane relief efforts for displaced victims as well as supporting some of it's own family members who have been affected.

Students, staff and faculty launched Operation Backpack for Kids to provide school supplies to evacuees living at the Rock Eagle center in Putnam County.

Lanier Tech has felt the effects of Katrina on a personal scale as several staff and faculty members have friends and relatives in the affected areas or have traveled to the region to participate directly in the rescue and clean-up.
