Cheryl, 

Just know that as a lion I could open a dialogue on that one for sure.
maybe we could talk more about what it is you hope to effect and I could
help you on that path, that is until you become a lioness yourself!

Cheryl,
    To the best of my knowledge (I am only finishing my first term as 
president), NAGDU has not actively solicited from the Lions. At the same 
time, they could be an incredible resource for us, especially with our 
national education and advocacy hotline. Our first year's operating expenses

for this project could top out well over $5000, so we would certainly be 
interested in their assistance!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

>> Hi Cheryl,
>>
>> All three of my guides have been Lion-sponsored, and I myself am a Lion.
>> Just a couple of thoughts to start you off in the right direction.
>>
>> 1.  You may want to jump on the NFB Lion's list-serve
>> 2.  You may want to start by approaching your Lion's District Governor
>> 3.  You may want to attend a Zone meeting, but connecting with your 
>> Lion's
>> district Gov. will be important.
>>
>> The make-up of the Lion's is unique as it is set-up in Districts.  For
>> instance, my Lion's District, 27-D2 is comprised of almost 50 clubs 2with
>> well over 2000 members.  To go through each club would take a lot of 
>> effort,
>> and to be honest, going through the route previously mentioned might be
>> best. As far as getting the biggest bang for the buck, there are zone
>> meeting, district conventions and State conventioins which would draw the
>> greatest crowds.
>>
>> Would you be approaching from the united dog guide front, or for one
>> particular organization for fund-raising?
>>
>> Hope this helps,
>>
>> Steve
