[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hello to all,

We would be very pleased if you would join us for our monthly NAGDU Board
meeting. It will be
held this Sunday, Oct. 27, at 8PM Eastern. We always welcome your input and
suggestions.
(And we promise you won't have to wear a costume or give us any
treats...just your feedback!)

As many of you know, We have begun holding our Board meetings in the Cloud,
using the popular Zoom platform. The very important instructions for calling
into the meeting are below my signature. There are several ways to access
the
meeting, so simply find  the method that is most convenient for you.
 
Warm regards,

Sherrill

National Association of Guide Dog Users Inc. (NAGDU)

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.

USING ZOOM

Although traditional conference call dialing is available, we recommend
using the free Zoom app for the best audio quality and functionality. The
app is easy to use and is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, and
Mac.

If you don't already have the app installed, you will be prompted to do so
when activating the below Zoom link. Installing the app ahead of time will
give you the opportunity to customize it to your preference.
