NFB PLEDGE

  I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the

  National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality,    

  opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the  

  policies and programs of the Federation and to abide  

  by its constitution.

NFB MESSAGE

  The National Federation of the Blind knows that    

  blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or 

  your future. Every day we raise the expectations of 

  blind people, because low expectations create 

  obstacles between blind people and our dreams. 

  You can live the life you want; blindness is not what  

  holds you back.

TRIBUTE TO OUR SPONSORS

We extend our sincerest gratitude to our Title Sponsor; 

Colorado Center for the Blind.

Since 1988, the CCB has been changing what it means to be blind one life at
a time.  The Center has provided world class blindness training to students
from all over the world.  Contact Julie Deden, Executive Director,

COLORADO ASSOCIATION OF GUIDE DOG USERS

               Littleton A

Melissa, Green, President, COAGDU

Greeley, Colorado

Come one, come all, to the 2016 Colorado Association of Guide Dog Users
(COAGDU) seminar.  We will be talking about a number of different issues
ranging from the steps to take when wanting to get a guide dog to the steps
to take when it is time to retire one.

The COAGDU "pack" will have a few guests that will speak on issues such as; 

* Emily Harvey - Disability Law Colorado

She will be talking about the new "Service Dog Law" HB16-1426.  The law
makes it a criminal offense to misrepresent a dog as a service dog, or for
someone to misrepresent themselves as a disabled person.  For more
information, PLEASE come and join our pack and check out the seminar.

* Dr. Judy Jasek - Doctor of Veterinary Medicine

Dr. Jasek will be talking about the advantages of holistic treatment and
support available during aging and the end of life process for our guide
dogs, and much, much, more.

* Puppies! - A number of puppy raising families will be bringing their
little balls of fur to the Convention, so that if you would like to talk to
them and find out what it is like to raise a puppy and what it takes to get
involved in doing it yourself, then come and ask all of your questions.

The "pack" will also have a few of the guide dog schools represented by some
of their "top dogs", and they'll be bringing literature as well.  For those
of us with dogs whose nails are "spooky long", a nail trimming station will
be set up outside the seminar room.  After their nails have been trimmed the
dogs can go to the next station and have some "T-touch time" where they can
just relax, "get ghost" and be lost in their own world.  After their nails
have been cut and their relaxing is over, then your tranquil, furry partner
can smell and try on some of the different essential oils that will be
available for purchase.  The COAGDU "pack" will also have our "swag bags"
for purchase along with guide dog pins depicting different types of dogs
including the golden retriever, German shepherd, Labrador retriever and even
poodles.  

Aw Poo!  We forgot to mention that our division will also have "pickup" bags
for sale in case you leave yours at home so that those of us that have guide
dogs can keep the grounds and the facility looking great.  

We will also be holding our elections for a few board and officer positions,
so if you have a "bark" that is BIGGER than your bite, then you should come
to the seminar and make your "bark" be heard.  The "pack" hopes to see your
wagging tails at our 2016 State Convention, we might just have a "bone" for
you.

WOOF WOOF!!!!!

2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

        DEAF-BLIND SEMINAR

                Littleton B

the field, questions and concerns, and hear from industry guests. There will

catch up with what's happening with each other.

panel of blind adults who will share the experiences that 

shaped them into successful blind adults.  We will 

then have fun as we all participate in carving pumpkins.

You will be able to work with a blind person to learn 

how pumpkin carving can be both safe and fun for your 

blind child.  We want to assist you in understanding the 

importance of setting high expectations for your child,

both in the classroom and at home.  Help your child 

achieve age appropriate goals as they prepare for their

future, no matter what their age.

to learn and explore. Come into the session and hear about the challenges
and opportunities that come with parenting at different stages, then check
out some of the equipment and techniques we all use. Share your thoughts
