[NAGDU] Convention Relief Issues, was Re: Just a thought

My dog was fine with the wood chips.
She did go outside the box a time or two but that was not too 
horrible.

God Bless,
Christina

yep, Jeanine, I remember that one!

Lots of us ended up using the alleys near the hotel, versus the 
wood chips provided on the 6th floor roof..

 Just out of curiosity, do you have an official count of how many 
guide dog teams attend all or part of the NFB convention? I know 
it’s been steadily increasing over the last 10 years but has it 
really reached over 200? Over 100?

 Not challenging, just asking for actual statistics.

 I ask this because the *Other convention* historically has 
around 200 to 400 teams, most of who are officially registered 
and maybe another 50 who aren’t, or didn’t register as guide 
dog teams.  They do have a voluntary donation with a fixed 
amount, but you can always give more.  I want to say it starts at 
$15.  I don’t have figures on exactly how much they receive 
each year from this donation box on the registration form
