Hello from the National Association of Guide Dog Users,

Please share this email wherever appropriate.

 

NAGDU is hosting two meetings at this year’s National Convention at the Rosen Centre in Orlando Florida. Because this email contains a lot of information, we have divided it into heading sections, which should make it easier to navigate. Please visit the NAGDU website, www.nagdu.org <http://www.nagdu.org/>, for the latest updates concerning NAGDU's presence at the NFB National Convention.

 

Annual Seminar
The annual seminar will take place on Wednesday, July 3, 2-5 PM Eastern in Salon 2.

Theme: "Advocating Together ... A Guide Dog User Seminar Promoting Advocacy." - Agenda coming soon.

 

Annual Business Meeting
The annual business meeting will take place on Friday, July 5, 6-10 PM Eastern in Salon 3.

• 6-7 PM: Meet and greet, and onsite registration.

Please note, to be eligible to vote, you must attend the meeting in-person, and will need to be current with your annual dues. NAGDU is accepting dues until July 3, 2024, at 11:59 PM Eastern. Dues can be paid using treasurer at nagdu.org through the Cash App, Zelle, or PayPal. You can also find this information by visiting https://nagdu.org/become-member

 

Registration
While the meetings are free to attend whether you are a NAGDU member or not, we kindly ask that you consider registering for the meeting(s) you plan on attending. Those who register and are there in person have the chance to win door prizes.

Are you interested in attending the NAGDU meetings but are not able to be there in person? That's okay. Both meetings will be broadcasted over Zoom. After registering, you will receive an email with your registration details along with the Zoom connection information.

NAGDU Membership
We will be collecting membership dues before the Annual Seminar, and at the end of the Annual Business meeting. Dues are $5 per person and are good through the end of the calendar year. Becoming a member of NAGDU means you are eligible to vote during our Annual Meeting.

 

NAGDU Goodie Bags
Once again, the ever-popular NAGDU Goodie Bags for your guide dogs are back! Each goodie bag is filled with a travel-sized hand sanitizer, a roll of lavender-scented pick-up bags, and an Ark Naturals Brushless Toothpaste dog chew treat. Goodie bags will be available in person at the NAGDU Seminar and also at the NAGDU Annual Business meeting. To obtain a goodie bag, please make a $5 donation to NAGDU. The funds collected will assist with covering the cost of maintaining the dog relief area at convention. Donations can be made with a credit/debit card, Zelle, PayPal, or cash (correct change is appreciated).

If you are interested in obtaining a goodie bag but are not going to be at national convention in person, you can still order one and it will be mailed to you after the convention. The donation amount for these goodie bags is $10. Whether you would like a goodie bag in person or mailed to you, please use the following link to sign up and let us know how many you would like.

For those who purchase goodie bags, and will not be attending the convention in-person, your goodie bags will be sent out during the first week of August,  and once your payments have been confirmed.

We are looking forward to seeing many of you in Orlando.
