Ed, I hate that you feel that way. This is not a NFB event, and I
believe it was a last minute adventure. Perhaps this could be
something we all do together soon. Hope you and Cheryl are doing
well!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> First of all, I would
like to draw your attention to Vice President Merry
Schoch’s fifteen more minutes of fame, along with our
FLAGDU members Janice butler, Debbie Malone, and Yvonne
Rosanelli. . Merry coordinated a visit of Freedom Guide
Dog puppy-raisers and handlers to meet at ZooTampa to
desensitize the zoo collection to the presence of service
dogs. Merry and I have been working with ZooTampa for
several years to create a model for zoos across the nation
to follow so that we have greater access to the exhibits.
When Merry, Debbie, Janice, Yvonne and several Freedom
guide Dogs puppy raisers visited yesterday, they were met
by camera crews from National Geographic, PBS, and our
local Fox 13. Here is the link to view the Channel 13
story.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a
href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fox13news.com%2Fvideo%2F877121&data=04%7C01%7C%7C02b15fcf8d584b1c8f1808d8988fd585%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637427090813621735%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=l5tyz6VUXODvFJn2F5dW%2FYUtEy4FBiFZk7o8y2WqSN0%3D&reserved=0"

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The stars of the
segment will be signing autographs during the 11:30
Saturday cruise of the tampa Bay Ferry. The quartet will
disembark at the Vinoit Yacht Basin with brunch at Cassis,
followed by a walk through downtown St. Petersburg. If
there is time for another stop, we will make that as
impromptu as this whole outing! Departure from the Vinoit
yacht Basin will be at 4:45 p.m., returning to the Tampa
Convention center at 5:40 p.m. Merry might want to make a
stop at Hat Tricks once we return to Tampa so see
“impromptu” above!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> This tongue-in-cheek
message is simply a way to invite our members to celebrate
in the successes of our Movement and enjoy some safe,
relaxing, publicly-distanced social time. Though I realize
the piece was not about the National Federation of the
Blind, it featured some of our leaders with a positive
message about blindness and guide dog handlers. It also
communicated a vital message when the anchor stated,
“Service animals are welcome in all areas of the zoo!”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">This piece
also sent a more important message we know is true: the
more agencies serving the blind – including guide dog
training programs – have consumer input, representation,
and influence in their policies and the more congruent
they are with the empowering message of the Federation,
the better these agencies serve their consumers.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">
We realize this invitation is very last-minute; this
message is as impromptu as the outing. If you would like
to join us, we will depart the Tampa bay convention Center
at 11:30 a.m., arriving in St. Petersburg at 12:25 p.m.
The ferry will return at 4:45, arriving back to the
convention center at 5:40 p.m. the round-trip fare is $20
for adults, $16 for those of you 65 or older, and $10 for
children 5 – 18. You can book your tickets by visiting<o:p></o:p></p>
