<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado knows about blindness and guide dogs. Talnua knows their whiskey.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are cordially invited to a special event on Saturday August 10 from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Learn the real story about how blind people navigate life using these amazing animals. Enjoy a presentation from Michael Hingson. Mike is the author of the NY Times best-selling book Thunder Dog. Mike recounts his harrowing experience in
the World Trade Center on 9/11. He and his faithful guide dog, Roselle escaped from the 80th floor of the World Trade Center.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will also enjoy meeting the puppies and the dedicated families who raise them before they move on to training at a school and being placed with a blind handler.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will have the opportunity to go on a Juno Walk, which is an exercise that simulates travel with a guide dog. You will get to walk with a guide dog and a guide dog mobility instructor, who will vary the pace and pull and determine a
person’s comfort zone for both of these factors, giving you an idea of how blind people learn to apply sensory awareness and travel skills in a practical way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Talnua’s creative and friendly staff will be on hand for you to purchase your favorite signature cocktails and we will provide a charcuterie tray to accompany your beverages. We hope to see you there!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All ticket proceeds will help the National Federation for the Blind with programs that are of great importance to our mission.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
