Now I have a question. What is the difference between the NFB, and the ACB? This is an especially contentious subject especially where I live in corona. Where on the second Saturday of the month you have the national Federation of the blind California Riverside San Bernadino chapter which meets from 10 am to noon. Also in the same room you have from 1230 to 2 on the second Saturday of every month the California Council for the blind inland empire chapter meets. Now somebody at this thing question at the Board of Directors meeting at our convention and I disagree with the answer they were given because in Corona you have extraordinary things happening that don't happen in other arenas in life The answers are given it's it it's like the Democrats and Republicans now I just to be with you would never see with Barack Obama that would landscape

> Alaska Airlines, in collaboration with Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB), has
> updated their Accessible Travel Services policy to allow service animals in
> training to travel domestically at no cost.
> "GDB is honored to partner with Alaska Airlines and we are thrilled that our
> guide dog puppies in training will now have the ability to practice
> traveling both in the airport and in cabin. This type of exposure helps to
> prepare them for the highest level of service dog work -- becoming a guide
> dog for someone who is blind or visually impaired," said Christine
> Benninger, Guide Dogs for the Blind president and CEO. "We very much
> appreciate Alaska Airlines' ongoing efforts to improve independent travel
> and customer service for all travelers, especially those with
> disabilities."
> Listed are some of the requirements:
> -Travel is wholly within the United States.
> -Space confirmed in advance.
> -The service dog is being transported by their trainer/raiser.
> -The trainer/raiser can provide a health certificate for the dog in training
> and an official ID card issued by the assistance organization.
> "Making travel easier for our customers is a mantra at Alaska Airlines,"
> said Len Wolford, Alaska Airlines passenger service policy and procedure
> specialist. "When Guide Dogs for the Blind asked us to adopt a policy that
> would welcome 'dogs in training' on our planes, we responded quickly and
> waived our standard fee to allow service dogs-in-training to travel free of
> charge."
> GDB puppy raising volunteers raise puppies from age eight weeks to 16-18
> months, at which point they can enter into formal guide dog training. During
> this time in the puppy raising home, families are responsible for providing
> their guide dog puppies with a well-rounded, nurturing environment. To
> support the puppy raisers, GDB offers a comprehensive puppy raising manual,
> organized training and socialization through meetings with other local Puppy
> Raising clubs, as well as staff that offer training and problem solving for
> the pups and their raisers. GDB currently has over 2,000 active puppy
> raising volunteers in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado,
> Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.
> With several hundred puppies needing raiser homes every year, puppy raisers
> are a critical part of producing highly trained guide dogs and other service
> dogs. People interested in Puppy Raising can learn more on GDB's website:
> www.guidedogs.com/puppy.
