<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I am excited to announce that
the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois has begun the process of
organizing the Illinois Association of Guide dog Users. On Tuesday, October
25, Patti Gregory-Chang, NFBI president, facilitated the organizational
meeting of the affiliate's Guide Dog Users' Committee, the first step on the
path to division status. On November 29, the committee will meet again. One of
the priorities of this next meeting will be to elect those who will lead the
committee until it ratifies a constitution and elects a board of Directors.
Once formally organized, the Illinois Association of Guide Dog Users will
become a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois and an
affiliate division of the National Association of Guide Dog Users
(NAGDU).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> NAGDU currently has affiliate
divisions in California, Florida, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and
Wisconsin. Members of affiliate NAGDU divisions are members of the National
Association of Guide Dog Users with all of the rights and privileges of
membership. NAGDU also has or is in the process of organizing Guide Dog Users'
Committees in Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Texas,
Washington, and West Virginia. If you are interested in supporting the work of
NAGDU in your affiliate, please get in touch with me. My contact information
is below my signature.</FONT></DIV>
