[BlindTlk] NAGDU is inviting you to a special town hall meeting to answer questions about the Department of Transportation Final Regulations on Traveling by Air with Service Animals

[Raul A. Gallegos (NFB)]

The National Association of Guide Dog Users is inviting you to a 
special town hall meeting, which will be held this Thursday, December 
10 at 8 PM Eastern time. The meeting will last for one hour and the 
meeting will be recorded. The purpose of this meeting is to answer 
your questions about the new ruling that the Department of 
Transportation has published regarding air travel with service animals.

When joining, there are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Since these are final rules, they will go into effect thirty days 
after the announcement.
2. We will answer questions to the best of our abilities, and we will 
obtain clarification from the DOT as needed.
3. It might be best to come with prepared questions, but also know 
that someone else might ask the question before you do. In order to 
try and keep the meeting moving, we will answer one question from one 
person, then move onto another person to give them a chance.
4. You are free to email questions ahead of time so we can compile a 
list prior to the meeting. Questions can be emailed to 
board at nagdu.org with the word, question, in the subject.
