[nagdu] teaching the public

[Michael Hingson]

Hi,

My best suggestion is to leave lots of time for questions.  When I speak to
elementary school children I talk about my life and work with my guide dog
for about half the time and then leave the rest for questions.  Kids are
always curious and eager to ask.  Answer honestly and don't talk down to
them. 


Best,


Michael Hingson

I would like to also hear from others that do presentations with their dogs.

I am going to do a presentation this month for the Triton School System here
in Mass for about 500 2nd graders.  Please send me your comments as to it
will be appreciated and help me do the best I can.  Andy and Shubert

Tomorrow there is a canine fashion show being put on as a fund raising event
for a new K--9 for the Yavapaih County Marshalls. There are many silly
things going on to get the community happy. There also some educational
things going on to enlighten the community. First on the agenda is a
presentation by yours truly on guide dogs. I did a presentation with my dog
just last week during a dinner and know that there is an upcoming
presentation on the schedule with a local church group. In other words, I am
busy becoming an ambassador and educater about guide dogs and guide dog
users. I am sure that many of you have done these types of things also and
would love to hear about your experiences. It is not that I am some great
speaker or anything. I just get asked. Also, in my community, there are a
total of three guide dogs. WE JUST DONT HAVE THE NUMBERS I would really like
to hear about what you all do with your dogs, not to compare, but to get
more ideas of how we could all get involved and what others do that might be
good ideas to borrow on. Thanks, Eve
