[Raul A. Gallegos (NFB)]

Hello Dave, can you send this out to our various lists? Specifically the 
guide dog user lists and the general NFB discussion lists?


Hello all, please share wherever appropriate.

The National Association of Guide Dog Users is inviting you to a special 
town hall meeting, which will be held this Thursday, December 10 at 8 PM 
Eastern time. The meeting will last for one hour and the meeting will be 
recorded. The purpose of this meeting is to answer your questions about 
the new ruling that the Department of Transportation has published 
regarding air travel with service animals.

When joining, there are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Since these are final rules, they will go into effect thirty days 
after the announcement.
2. We will answer questions to the best of our abilities, and we will 
obtain clarification from the DOT as needed.
3. It might be best to come with prepared questions, but also know that 
someone else might ask the question before you do. In order to try and 
keep the meeting moving, we will answer one question from one person, 
then move onto another person to give them a chance.
4. You are free to email questions ahead of time so we can compile a 
list prior to the meeting. Questions can be emailed to board at nagdu.org 
with the word, question, in the subject.
