[nagdu] Hello

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

        Dar,
You have a couple options.
Find something else that you enjoy and don't worry about Lions. They aren't the only game in town.
Or get involved with Lions and focus on something else, youth activities or something non dog related. You can also say "When I've got my Lions hat on, I support Leader Dogs" and then let people know your dog is from Seeing Eye and that you can and will talk about that under separate cover. That's done all the time in all kind of settings.
I don't think you'll get much traction if you say "I'm a new member and I want to change what you support"

Well sense I have the dog from seeing eye not leader, it is hard for me
to support a school I am not with.
It would be nice to get brochures to have folks look at for seeing eye
as they did for leader.
I am with the nfb where we would put out literature the same way.
The lions do many things that would help us get out in the community.
Sharing who we are.
This is all I am thinking of.
I can still go as a member of nfb, still taking my dog.
Just feel this doesn't set well with me.
