[nagdu] Questions about Federal regs regarding paratransit

[Marion & Martin]

Ron,
    One of the projects NAGDU is working on is creating a nationwide 
advocacy hotline. Prior to kicking this off, we will have a workshop via 
teleconference. I would also like to include a teleconference on 
representing NAGDU and the NFB through public speaking. I hope you will 
avail yourself of these teleconferences. Keep up the great work!

Fraternally,
Marion gwizdala
