> Hello everyone, we have setup a public meeting with our national office 
> to discuss the AirBNB situation concerning guide dog users. 
> Specifically, one of the most recent situations where the iOS app 
> bundles pets with service animals, making it difficult for a guide dog 
> user to find appropriate bookings because the search results become 
> limited to those hosts who only accept pets. As has been discussed and 
> as many of us know, our guide dogs are not pets.
>
> This meeting will take place this week on Wednesday, December 22 at 12 
> Noon Eastern time. This translates as 11 AM Central, 10 AM Mountain, 9 
> AM Pacific, and 8 AM Alaska. This meeting will be added to the NAGDU 
> events calendar for those who subscribe to it. The Zoom invitation 
> follows. Thank you and we hope to see many of you there.

> The National Association of Guide Dog Users is inviting you to a
