[nabs-l] I need your opinion on something

[Sam Nelson]

Hi Joanna, 
 Cool about the volunteer experience. 
 I'd call or e-mail to let her know about the cane so she has all the info
about you and what you can do in hand. I don't think it would be seeming
desperate just giving information. 
 Hope that helps and that things go well with volunteering! 
 Sam

Subject: [nabs-l] I need your opinion on something

A couple of months ago, I emailed a local childcare center to see if they
had any volunteer opportunities available. as it is my intention to major in
early childhood education in college, I need all the experience I can get,
volunteer and otherwise, before I finalize my decision. Much to my delight,
they said yes.
This past Tuesday, I went there to fill out some paperwork for volunteering
with them. Standard stuff, like conducting a background check, among other
things. The director said she would be in contact with the families to see
if any of the children have allergies to dogs before my dog Ditra can enter
the rooms; I'm perfectly fine with that, and it is understandable. I went
over yesterday immediately after the dog's annual appointment to give
paperwork indicating the dog's vaccinations are up to date, and was told by
someone there that not all of the families have responded yet regarding the
dog. What I failed to do tuesday, (and this only just occurred to me, so I'm
mentally kicking myself for it), is tell the director that I can travel just
as independently with the cane as I can with a dog, and the dog doesn't
always have to be there with me. In reality, she might not always be there
with me due to illness, retirement, whatever. So all that being said, here
is my predicament:
Do I call or email her Monday to let her know about the cane, or do I wait
until she hears back from the rest of the families? I feel using the cane in
the beginning will at least help me learn the layout of the building better
at first, so I can direct the dog later on when I'm given clearance to bring
her near the children. at the same time, I don't want to sound desperate, if
you know what I mean.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a good weekend. Welcome to all the newcomers to
this list.
