[Flagdu] FW: Cruising Into the Future!

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hello and ahoy to all!

This is a worthy fund raiser, and certainly much fun is to be had for those
who decide to go cruising!  And please keep in mind that guide dogs are
welcome aboard ship, though you need to do some advance planning if you wish
to take your dog on all  land excursions.    Cheryl Echevarria, the travel
consultant who is partnering with NAGDU, a guide dog user and member of
NAGDU, is more than happy to advise you on this matter.  Please read on for
the exciting details!

Sherrill O'Brien, President
Florida Association of Guide Dog Users

CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF NAGDU by Cruising into the Future!



National Association of Guide Dog Users



7-Night Caribbean Group Cruise



The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) has partnered with
Cheryl Echevarria, a member of NAGDU and Owner of Echevarriatravel.com, to
sponsor a 7-day Caribbean Cruise for the benefit of NAGDU. For every person
booking passage on this cruise, $25 will be donated to the National
Association of Guide Dog Users with a matching contribution of $25 from
Echevarriatravel.com.



The National Association of Guide Dog Users is a special interest Division
of the National Federation of the Blind for people who currently use guide
dogs as mobility tools, those considering getting a guide dog, or those who
want to learn more about guide dog use. One of NAGDU's major projects is the
establishment of a national toll-free education and advocacy hotline that
will provide on-demand access to information about guide dog use, including
state and federal laws that protect the civil rights of service animal
users. This hotline will also afford callers the ability to speak with a
specially trained volunteer advocate to help resolve access issues. All
Proceeds from this cruise will be used to support this innovative service
and other valuable programs of the National Association of Guide Dog Users.
