[Md-sligo] Chapter meeting and events

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Patti,
I congratulations on getting your class at GDF.  I had not known that 
you were a guide dog user.  I will have a guide dog committee meeting on 
Saturday morning at the convention and I would love to have you with us 
and your new partner (God willing).
