Kristen,

Apologies for this late reply. Zoom calls normally do not require a password. The announcement, after you enter in the access code, will prompt you to enter a password or pass code but it will also state that if you do not have one, simply press pound. I know that Melissa contacted me with the idea of hosting a call for Connecticut guide dog users and she will be writing something up. I do not believe that the guy dog division is doing anything, so she’s taking it upon herself to initiate such contact. I’ll keep you posted. P.A. Magalnick,JP

Melissa, thank you for sharing this. I was hoping that our guide dog division would similarly host a call. Our routines have been disrupted, and many dogs May not be getting the work and exercise that they need. Looking forward to this.

Respectfully,

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!
