[nagdu] NAGDU Restructures Membership & Dues Policies

[Marion & Martin]

Dear All, 

            The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) is a strong and proud division of the National Federation of the Blind. One of the most important characteristics of the NFB is our unity. Since every Chapter and Division of the NFB is a part of the whole, membership in the Federation is conferred on everyone who joins any Chapter or Division. Our cohesiveness is what makes us strong!

            The Board of Directors of the National Association of Guide Dog Users, with the approval of the membership, is implementing a new membership and dues policy that takes effect immediately. Under this policy, all members of affiliate associations of guide dog users are automatically members of the National Association of Guide Dog Users and no additional dues are required from them. Furthermore, dues for those who do not have an affiliate association can join NAGTDU for only $5.00, reduced from the previous dues of $15.00. In addition, you can now pay your dues on-line through Pay Pal using an electronic check or by credit/debit card. 

            To pay your dues by Pay Pal (you don't need a Pay Pal account to do this), simply go to

https://www.paypal.com

click on "send Money", and follow the prompts using the address

Treasurer at NFB-NAGDU.ORG

 

Of Course, if you wish to send your dues in the mail, you can make your check or money order (please do not send cash!) in the amount of $5.00 per person payable to "NAGDU" and send it to

            The Board of Directors believes that this new policy will make the National Association of Guide Dog Users even stronger and more effective as we work to educate the public on issues of guide dog handling while enhancing the lives of the blind in the United States.
