[New-york-news] A Reminder about Nyagdu and Blind parents Conference Call

[margo Downey]

Note from the Nyagdu Secretary-Treasurer:  I am pasting in Heather's
previous email item about this call as a reminder.

Hello. Please join us this Sunday, October 28th at 7:30 P.M. if you are a
member of the New York Association of Guide Dog Users, or if you are a
member of the Blind Parents of New York Group. Also, guide dog handlers,
prospective guide dog handlers, or current or prospective blind parents,
whether they are NFB members, or ACB members, or those who choose to belong
to neither one are all welcome. This is an informational call to benefit
any and all blind parents/guide dog handlers, so please spread the word.
This call is the first in a series of NYAGDU calls where we work to build
bridges between our division and various other divisions and groups. We
will cover topics such as how to work a guide dog while wearing babies in
carriers, walking with toddlers and older children, pulling or pushing
strollers, home training with children at home, leaving children to train
at an on-campus program, juggling the demands of your children and your
guide, ensuring that your match is able to tolerate small children, and
more. Please invite anyone who cares for children or who works a guide dog
to this call. Individuals living outside of New York state will be more
than welcome on these calls, until and unless we consistently achieve
numbers in access of 20 participants going forward. The call will take
place beginning at 7:30 and will run until 8:30, but participants are
welcome to stay on the line and chat as late as 9:30. The call-in number is
(605) 475-4786 and the pass code is 869480. Please circulate this among
your chapters, and your friends and on guide dog or parenting lists. Want
to discuss other travel logistics as blind parents aside from guide dog
related topics?

If you have any questions, please contact Heather NYAGDU (585) 739-6473 or
Candice, BPNY (585) 645-2716.
