[nagdu] Welcome Debbie,

[Marsha Drenth]

Hi Debbie, Welcome! 
I hope that you like your time here, this is a very active list, with alot of different types of handlers and pups, from all different schools. This list has a wealth of information. 
A little about myself, I am Marsha, working my third guide from GDF. My pup is a black lab cross, who is specially trained for guiding, balance, and alerting. I am deafblind, which there are quite of few of us on this list who are also blind, deaf and or hard of hearing. 
I am also the moderator of the list, so if you need anything, please let me know. Just two things to keep in mind about the list, the list has a posting limit for all members, 5 posts per day per member. Secondly, please include your name at the end of every post to the list, its always good for others who you are. We have several Debbie's on the list, so make sure people know its you and not another person. If you want people to email you offlist, the email is not required though. I am sort of know as the meany around here, if your trouble, no worries I will email you off list. 
Again, glad you joined us... take care!
