Guide Dog Users: Social Networking while Distancing

Please circulate the following message as widely as appropriate.

                As we create physical distance between us as protection from
the COVID-19 virus, the National Association of Guide Dog Users, a strong &
proud division of the National Federation of the blind, Invites you to
create social connections and togetherness. "Yappy Hour" is sponsored and
hosted by the board of directors of NAGDU. Our first event will be a simple
get-acquainted time with no topic nor agenda. In our first Yappy Hour, you
are welcome to share with the group your favorite adult beverage, your
original food creations, or ask a question about a dog training or behavior
concern. In other words, its more about the humans whith guide dogs in their
lives than about the dogs. One of our nontopics will be what we can do in
the future. For instance, during the holidays, I facilitated a Zoom meeting
in which I sent out an ingredient list and taught others how to make
home-made egg nog. Maybe we can cook together! Anyone want to learn to make
seafood lasagna? 

                So, grab your device, download the Zoom Meeting app, and
come network with guide dog users around the world! Here are the times and
instructions!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.
