[nagdu] All Veterans Class at Guide Dogs of the Desert

Fri Feb 6 14:04:35 UTC 2009

Doug,
    I, too, would like to welcome you to post more often, especially to 
share your training expertise. It is my desire to create a closer working 
relationship with the guide dog schools in an effort to help them improve 
and enhance their programs to better meet the needs of all blind people. To 
this end, I would like to encourage someone from Guide Dogs of the Desert to 
join us at our national convention and the meetings of the National 
Association of Guide Dog Users. I will write to you off-list in the near 
future with a formal invitation and details about convention and our 
meetings.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
National Association of Guide Dog Users
National Federation of the Blind
