[David Andrews]

I am pleased to be able to announce three new lists on 
NFBNet.org.  They concern guide dogs, students, and parents of blind 
children.  They are the Florida Association of Guide Dog Users list, 
the Georgia Association of Blind Students list, and the Maryland 
Parents of Blind Children list.  Below is information on each list 
and how to subscribe to it.

Users.  Topics related specifically to this division will include 
business, fundraising projects, advocacy issues, and planning for our 
annual meeting which takes place during the Florida affiliate’s 
State convention. General topics will include information for those 
interested in learning about obtaining and working with a guide dog, 
guide dog schools, training, care  and retirement of a dog, and

on fundraising and student seminar themes.
