[Nfbc-info] NFBC-Info Digest, Vol 152, Issue 13

Wed Jan 31 04:27:10 UTC 2018

We are all a part of the same NfB family.  It is possible that this
information will reach someone who is concerned on a personal level about
attacks on guide dogs. Also, it is important that we support all efforts to
achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind.  Please remember
that we work together as a team.  I am a guide dog user, but I fully support
the rights of cane users.  Remember, the list serve includes a wide scope of
individuals, and it's impossible to funnel messages to only those people  to
whom their contents impact directly.  So, if you are not interested in a
particular topic you can skip that message.  However, I think it's important
for everyone to support the legislative work done by our hard working
members. Just my 2 cents.  

Respectfully,
Allison Depner
NFBCA AT-Large chapter President
