[nagdu] You never know

[Marion Gwizdala]

Tracy Et Al,
    This is a very good reason to always have some "Meeting A Working Guide 
Dog Team" brochures on hand to pass out! When people express an interest in 
our guides, they are at a point known in the field of education as a 
"teachable moment". They are open to the information and we can provide them 
with accurate information on the subject. This also helps promote the NFB, 
NAGDU, and blind people as the authority on the topic!
    "Meeting A Working guide Dog Team" (Item #: LBG12P) can be ordered free 
of charge from the Independence Market or obtained at the national 
convention. Please help us deplete the stock of this item, as we are 
planning a redesign of it as soon as it is ready for reprint! You can 
contact the Independence Market at 410-659-9314.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
