Dave,
    To follow up and expand on Sherrill's message, the 2010 convention of 
the NFBF and FLAGDU's annual meeting will be held in Orlando. If we don't 
get the chance to meet beforehand, we hope to see you there!
    BTW, we also have a NAGDU list with more than 200 guide dog users from 
around the country and a few from Europe! If you would like to subscribe to 
this list, you may do so in the same way you did for our other lists.

You may also subscribe by going to the NAGDU website

Fraternally yours,
marion
