[Nyagdu] website presence

[Marion & Martin]

Margo,
    Let me make a technical correction. NJ will form a Guide Dog users 
Committee on Friday night to begin the process of forming the new jersey 
Association of guide dog Users. I think it is an excellent idea to join 
forces with them. Perhaps you can mentor them and support each other.
    I also want to say that I am very excited about the energy I am seeing 
in NY and your commitment to our reciprocal relationship. I hope other 
affiliate divisions will take your lead and not feel as if NAGDU is trying 
to micromanage them. Keep up the great work!

Fraternally,
Marion
