> Good morning all:
> What a great time we all had with Matt Slosky, COO, Chief Operating Officer with Socialflights.com, we were hoping for a better turn out, but I am guessing people were busy.  I am also going to forward this to NYAGDU, here in NY, since we had a few guide dog users from NY on the call last night.
> I just want to say thank you to Peter Donahue our Board Member, for introducing us to Socialflights.com.
> This service may not be good for everyone, or fit your pocketbook, but we are also going to hopefully be educating some of there operators as well.
> Matt, is all about learning about the National Federation of the Blind, he also mentioned that he has a therapy dog and knows the laws that his dog is not a service animal.
> He will always be a friend of the travel and tourism division, and hope to have him back in the future on our calls.  It has been recorded, Mary Donahue our Secretary will be taking notes off the recording last night and hopefully, Peter, will be able to download it to our website for others to listen to.
> It was a great success our first guest call, ever.  We are hoping in Dallas to get him or a few operators to come to our meeting at the convention but we will see.
> Now, to the members of this list and the division.
> We want to hear from you, it is nice to have a division, many of us belong to one or two of them maybe more. 
> So, we want to know, what you would like us to focus on, myself, and some of my officers who are travel partners, have connections in the industry to do this type of call in again. I am in talks with Andrew Garnett of Special Needs at Sea, his company does wheelchairs, scooters, oxygen, plus his company also did the braille for the Norwegian Gem, that I took a group on a tour of back in October.
> So his company does a lot of different things for the disabled community.
> Also, I have Cathy Vazquez with NCL, and I can have her come on as well, or possible one or two our my tour suppliers from different areas of travel.
> So, we need to hear from you, our members.
