great idea.

Dear All,

	This would be a great opportunity for our members in the area to
promote the NFBI and the National Association of Guide Dog Users by letting
everyone know about our rideshare testing program. It also seems the guide
dog users' meetings are quarterly which means we have the chance to do this
four times each year! NAGDU is on the forefront of shaping public policy, as
evidenced by our recent meetings with Delta Airlines that resulted in their
roll-back of their service animal policy and, as the result of this, Alaska
Airlines has asked us for our input on their new policy! Let's go build the
National Federation of the Blind!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind  people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.
