<DIV>Hi all.</DIV>
<DIV>Please share this email with others. That have a dog, and those who
are interested, and or support guide dog users. I would like to have a
meeting on the 22nd at 5:00Pm, or 6:00Pm. </DIV>
<DIV>At this meeting I would like everyone to bring two ideas. One for the
state seminar, and one for our conference calls, and how to get other members
involved year-round.</DIV>
<DIV>If you would like to do so, please contact one guide dog school, and see if
they will send us information, and or door prizes. For example, The Guide
dog Foundation has these new cards with the two questions that people can ask in
businesses. I would like to have the vet and may be a mobile groomer at
the seminar. Also have the schools talk about things such as
grooming. For example, does the breed of dog matter how many times they
are bathed throughout the year”"? My second idea is to have like a
celebration ceremony for all of the dogs including the new ones in the
state. My last idea is to create some kind of award for someone involved
in the guide dog community, a school, or even a vet. Just a couple of my
Ideas. Will bring more information to the meeting.</DIV>
<DIV>I have a report on fundraisers. One new one is that Casey Schueler
has agreed to make these nice blankets for us to sell and may be donate one to
the auction. She made one for her dog, and will be making one for me, and
one for marty. Diane Filipe has agreed to have the pins done for us by
state convention if not before. Haven’t had a chance to contact personally
yours for the bags again. I plan to do that tomorrow afternoon.
