<DIV>Hi all,<BR> <BR>Please find below the minutes from the last

People present for this meeting were Melissa, Marty, Shon, Becky, Jenny and
Bionca. First, Daniel has resigned from the board, and we need to appoint
someone to serve out the remainder of his term. Shon suggested Brian. Becky
suggested Penn. After some discussion, we will ask Brian if he would accept the
position. If Brian is unwilling or unable to accept the position, then we will
appoint Penn. Daniel has submitted all of the available information he had
gathered on the Service Dog 911 to the email lists and we will go ahead with the
writing of a resolution. Shon then told us that the state board was going to
look at kerioke on Friday night and said that Michelle Chacon had asked him if
we would like to help out with this that night. We briefly discussed still
having our event with kerioke on Saturday night after banquet. After more
discussion, we decided that we could go either way even if it means that we are
helping out Friday night. We also decided that we would try to work with Cody
and Michelle to see if we could possibly work together with the state. Bionca
also brought up the idea of having a tallent show and we have decided to adopt
this as our backup plan. Melissa will talk to Michelle to see what can be
1conompished on this front. We then moved to our seminar. Melissa stated that we
have a rep from GDB and Shon said that we also have reps from Guishing Eyes and

will be serving on our guide dog school pannel. Marty asked about the Guide Dog
Consupers Bill of Rights and seeing if we can get more copies printed and
brailled out so that we can also discuss this at the seminar. Shon will look to
see how many copies of things we have left from our May seminar, and will
arrange to get more literature if necessary. Shon will also check to see who
will be taking things over from the center and will leave a message to see if we
would be able to get the literatuffe we have transported to the hotel. Regarding
