[nagdu] WAGDU Presents Paws on Progress

[Steve Johnson]

Sherrill, Marion et al,

If we can provide a template for other State Guide Dog Divisions to
duplicate, we would love to do that and definitely encourage this as well.
Our goal, is to make this an annual event with a different focus each year,
and we will be discussing our next project not too long after this one is
completed.  We are very fortunate to have a very well-versed speaker that
understands, and literally breates ADA and related Civil Rights laws, and it
is exciting to have her present.  So, hold on, 'cause you ain't seen nuttin
yet!

Yours in Federationism,

Steve Johnson,
WAGDU, 2nd Vice President

Meghan,

This is a wonderful event that you and your WAGDU members will be hosting.
I have a feeling this could be a catalyst for other divisions to start
thinking along these lines.  I'm certainly going to share this post with the
FLAGDU board and talk about something of this sort at our board meeting this
evening.  We all wish you the best in this bold idea.

Sherrill
