[nagdu] NFB Convention guide dog policy

[Marion Gwizdala]

Mike,
    I don't recall having any sort of tiered membership dues. Dues for NAGDU 
are $5.00 and membership in NAGDU constitutes membership in the National 
Federation of the Blind.

Fraternally yours
Marion

Actually, you are right unless you are not a member of the NFB in which
case, if I recall, the dues are $15.

I've slept since we amended the constitution.  (grin).

By the way, it is raining here in Orlando.  This is a huge hotel, but it is
pretty easy to get around.

Before coming be sure to read Mrs. Jernigan's article in the May Monitor.
It will help a great deal.  The article is also at the back of the agenda.

Actually, I'm fairly sure they're $5 per year now.
