Hi Rodney, well I think your luck is about to change, welcome to the
Missouri NFB. Our national convention will be starting next week, but
following it I would like to talk with you about starting a chapter in
Dexter, would you be interested?
Do you plan on getting a new guide? In Missouri we have a dog guide dog
division that may well interest you, if you like I can put you in touch with
Stephanie McDowell who is the president.
Debbie
