Also, I'm sure many of you have experienced refusals from Uber and Lyft to travel with our guy dogs. So, I am very interested in forming a committee to see if there's enough interest to officially start a group. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">In the meantime, I'd be happy and willing to organize a zoom meeting with anyone who is interested in participating in a discussion to decide what we would like to do.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I would like to meet in the next week or two so if interested, please let me know if Monday 7/15 or 7/22 at 6:30 or 7:00pm works for you to meet over zoom.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thanks very much.</div><div dir="ltr">Laurie Mattioli </div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Jul 13, 2024, at 6:55 PM, Debbie Malone via Massachusetts-NFB <massachusetts-nfb@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">When do you guys want to get together?
