I am pleased that those few who were able to be on the call voted favorably to retain an option for community service with an organization that serves people with disabilities.  If, for example, such an organization happens to be involved with guide work, or folks who use guide dogs are also involved in same organization, such community service might be a way to better educate those who are guilty of mis-representing their animals as service animals.  There has been much talk on the NAGDU list lately about increased and better education for both business owners and consumers about the proper tasks and behavior expectations of service animals.  Granted, not everyone will benefit from efforts to educate them, but without that community service option in the legislation changes, we have no teeth to support that effort.
