“Blindness is a characteristic, not a handicap.”

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the 
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles 
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; 
blindness is not what holds you back.

Dear Federation Family:

As you may have heard, there have been infestations of New World 
Screwworm in parts of Texas. While Austin’s Travis county is not one of 
those places, many states are instituting health documentation 
requirements for animals traveling from Texas. The AKC has helpfully 
created a page listing the state-by-state requirements. We have linked 
to that page at NAGDU.org/screwworm <https://nagdu.org/screwworm>. In 
general, states that require documentation are requiring a Certificate 
of Veterinary Inspection, also known as a CVI, issued within 3 to 7 days 
of travel. We encourage you to check your state’s requirements to 
determine what documentation you may need to travel home from convention.

We will not have a vet on-site, but as in the past, NAGDU has found 
several veterinary clinics near the convention. While we normally do 
that for veterinary emergencies, this year we have confirmed that they 
can also provide CVIs for those who need them to travel home. Those 
clinics are:

Chewy Vet Care The Triangle
Phone: (512) 270-4825
Address: 4700 W. Guadalupe St, Bldg A, Ste A-1, Austin, TX 78751

Burnet Road Animal Hospital
Phone: (512) 342-1710
Address: 8511 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX 78757

Please note that neither clinic will be open on July 4, but the Chewy 
clinic can provide emergency vet referrals.

Lets go build the Federation!

Yours,

The NAGDU Board
