[nagdu] Partners in Independence DVD

[Ed and Toni Eames]

Dear Linda,

Just discovered this e-mail in our saved file.  The DVD is 12 minutes 
long and demonstrates tasks performed by guide, hearing and service 
dogs.  It also discusses public access issues and what not to do when 
meeting an assistance dog.

There are two versions, one for the general public and one for the 
veterinary community.  They are available from us for a $15 donation 
to IAADP or $25 for both versions.  Checks can be sent to Ed Eames, 
3376 North Wishon, Fresno, CA 93704.  This includes shipping and handling.

Ed
