[Nfbf-l] invitation to join our flagdu list

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hello Nicki,

As Marion mentions, you certainly don't have to have a dog to join our
Flagdu list.  It can be a place for education and discussion for folks who
are wondering if a dog might be right for them, or for their child.  We
offer honest suggestions about the appropriate use for a guide dog, and when
the cane might be a better option.  So by all means join us if this is a
topic you'd like to hear more about.

Sherrill

Nicki,
    The guide dog lists - notice that this is plural - is not only for guide
dog users, but for those interested in issues of guide dog use. We have
several non-users on our national list, including a few who, like you, are
planning on getting a guide dog in the near future.

Fraternally,
Marion Gwizdala
