<p>Hello everyone, please forward this wherever appropriate. The
below is information about two upcoming events held by the
National Association of Guide Dog Users. The notices for them went
out to our other guide dog user lists earlier this week, so I am
compiling them into one message in case someone on this list is
interested and in case you are not already subscribed to those
other lists.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>First is the Yappy hour. The National Association of Guide Dog
Users would like to invite you to our next Yappy hour. The Yappy
hour is a virtual gathering to socialize and have a good time.<br>
<br>
Whether you are a current guide dog user, a former guide dog user,
thinking about becoming a guide dog user, are friends with other
guide dog users, have any sort of connection with guide dog users
no matter how tenuous, or simply think that guide dog users are
cool, we hope you will join us this Saturday on Zoom.<br>
<br>
This informal meeting takes place every two weeks unless otherwise
noted. By informal, we truly mean that. While serious topics about
guide dog users may come up from time to time, we will not be
holding any NAGDU or NFB business. The meeting information is as
follows.<br>
<br>
Date: Saturday, February 20, 2021.<br>
Time: 3 PM Eastern. (This calculates as 2 PM Central, 1 PM
Mountain, 12 noon Pacific, and 11 AM Alaska.)<br>

<p>Second is Guide Dog Matters. The National Association of Guide
Dog Users would like to invite you to our next Guide Dog Matters
seminar. This is a one-hour presentation on a specific topic
related to guide dog users. The seminar typically takes place on
the third Sunday of every month unless otherwise noted. For those
who are not able to attend, the presentation will be recorded and
shared on the list as well as the NAGDU Facebook page.<br>
<br>
This month's topic is, "Choosing the right guide dog training
program."<br>
