Guide Dog Users: Social Networking while Distancing<br>
<br>
Please circulate the following message as widely as appropriate.<br>
<br>
As we create physical distance between us as protection from the COVID-19
virus, the National Association of Guide Dog Users, a strong & proud
division of the National Federation of the blind, Invites you to create
social connections and togetherness. “Yappy Hour” is sponsored and hosted
by the board of directors of NAGDU. Our first event will be a simple
get-acquainted time with no topic nor agenda. In our first Yappy Hour,
you are welcome to share with the group your favorite adult beverage,
your original food creations, or ask a question about a dog training or
behavior concern. In other words, its more about the humans whith guide
dogs in their lives than about the dogs. One of our nontopics will be
what we can do in the future. For instance, during the holidays, I
facilitated a Zoom meeting in which I sent out an ingredient list and
taught others how to make home-made egg nog. Maybe we can cook together!
Anyone want to learn to make seafood lasagna? <br>
<br>
So, grab your device, download the Zoom Meeting app, and come network
with guide dog users around the world! Here are the times and
instructions!<br>
<br>

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations because low expectations create barriers between blind
people and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not
what holds you back.<br>
