[nagdu] Sarcasm: NAGDU List

[Marion Gwizdala]

Sheila,
    This is the point of my message and why I intentionally started my 
subject line with "Sarcasm". It is my intent for the National Association of 
Guide Dog Users to become the most credible source for accurate information 
about guide dogs. It is also my intention to reflect my attitude of 
inclusion, valuing each individual and utilizing their potential to its 
fullest, regardless of their characteristics. Anyone is welcome to be a part 
of this organization and work toward our common goals without being 
subjected to arbitrary tests of eligibility. As I stated in a previous 
message, we have several very hard working members who have contributed a 
great deal who are not guide dog users but believe in the goals of our 
division. Excluding them because they are not guide dog users would be to 
treat them with the same discriminatory behavior we fight against!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
