This program will share audio files via the NAGDU website and YouTube to raise awareness about guide and other service animals, including how guide dogs are trained, the tasks guide dogs perform, and information about the access rights of guide dog users. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>We are inviting you to become a part of these programs by recording a question for inclusion in our program. These questions can be recorded in any electronic audio file formats, such as mp3, mp4, wave, etc. The question does not necessarily need to be one you do not know the answer to, just one you would like others to know the answer to. Your recorded question should follow this general format:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>My name is [first name (last name is optional)] from [city, state]. I would like to know …<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Send your recording as an attachment to <a href="mailto:info@nagdu.org">info@nagdu.org</a> Recorded questions will be chosen based upon the question asked, the public impact of the answer, and the overall quality of the question. We realize many of you may ask the same questions and we will only be able to use one of the recordings in the answer; therefore, please don’t take it personally if your recording is not used. You may submit more than one question but please make separate recordings. We will do our best to let everyone whose recordings are chosen know. We look forward to receiving your questions and enhancing our internet presence through this program. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fraternally yours,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marion<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marion Gwizdala, President<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>National Association of Guide Dog Users Inc.
