[NAGDU] it's never too early to begin preparations

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Hi all. One thing not mentioned are the outings and tours offered to
convention goers. I have no idea of what may be planned. But I know these
would occur during the day. The convention planners, along with NAGDU,
might want to put reminder tips on this topic for the guide dog users. How
about getting volunteers to dogsit for those who dont want to bring their
dogs on the tours. There may be people from dog clubs, scout groups needing
to earn Community Service badges, church groups. Then you won't have dogs
being left alone in rooms.
