Ok, so I got a grand total of 4 responses, one from Tracy, who is not even
in NY, but we love you Tracy, One from Jessica, Hey, Jessica, where are you
from? Albert, who is admittedly not particularly affiliated with NAGDU or
NYAGDU, but of course is more than welcome on this list, and Lucy who is our
immediate past president. I make these observations to sort of give a
friendly kick in the butt to our other list members. We have one or two
people from outside of the state, a nonmember, and our immediate past
president. Come on NY, we can do better. I am not that tech savvy, but I
managed to find the subscriber list and take a look. We have 23 subscribers,
and I got 4 responses. If I get two more, I will do the name drawing, but we
should be able to at least get 6. I have four guide dog users and one
service dog handler in my chapter, and it is my goal to get all of them to
subscribe to this list and to join NYAGDU. I am going to send out an email
regarding this contest to the NAGDU list. I am also going to email the
chapter presidents and ask them to bring it up at their next chapter
meeting, and I am going to post this to New York News as well. I want to
give an On the Go Gift Certificate to someone, so, please make my day. Also,
a big thanks to Albert, Jessica, Lucy, and Tracy for posting, and for the
cute dog stories. I love the image of carrying a dog up an escalator. I am
glad the schools have realized that escalator work can, and should be done,
but holy guacamole, that is the best mental image ever. I sometimes pick up
Ilsa and carry her like a baby, and she was like a fruit loop and isn’t sure
what is going on. There’s just something about adult dogs snuggling in the
arms of a human like a seriously over grown puppy that makes me smile.
Jessica, you sound like a super busy lady, so thanks for taking the time to
post here. Albert, I’ve got researching your business on my to-do list,
because it looks interesting, and one can never have too many resources in
their tool kit. Lucy, as always, you rock, maybe Jaden would prefer a Macy’s
gift card if your name is drawn. *laughing*  thanks for posting.

 

Have a good evening all. If you know anyone who is subscribed and want to
give them a gentle nudge, that would be appreciated.

"They came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't
a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I
wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a
Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." -
Martin Niemöller

In our diverse society we must never fail to speak up in the face of Human
Rights violations lest we be the next targets of such violations.
