Hello all, please share this wherever appropriate, especially other guide dog user email lists.

The National Association of Guide Dog Users would like to invite you to attend both its annual seminar and annual business meetings next week at this year's virtual NFB convention. Because everyone will be busy getting ready for convention, we will not be hosting the Yappy hour on Saturday, July 11. If you are subscribed to the NAGDU public calendar of events, you will already have the meeting dates and times on your device. Please note that all times listed in this email are in Eastern.

We welcome all guide dog users and interested people to attend the seminar and the business meeting. Registration is encouraged and can be done from this link: https://bit.ly/2Ytkcj7
