> Dear Fellow Federationists,
>     The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU), a strong and 
> proud division of the National Federation of the Blind, is seen as the 
> leading advocate on issues of service animal use. We are regularly 
> consulted by governmental agencies, such as Attorneys General, Agencies 
> for Health Care Administration, taxicab commissions, , and law enforcement 
> agencies, and private companies, such as health care facilities, hotels, 
> restaurants, and retail establishments, as well as the general public 
> seeking information about guide and other service dogs. The primary way 
> most of these people find us is through our website at
>
> HTTP://WWW.NAGDU.ORG
>
>     In an effort to give ourselves the most visibility and enhance our 
> reputation as the leader in service dog information and advocacy, it is 
> essential we have a dynamic website and present our information in an 
> appealing manner.
>     NAGDU is seeking your help in two important ways. The first way is to 
> simply visit our website and take a look at the information we have there. 
> Let us know what you think of it and how you feel we can do a better job. 
> We would especially like the input of those who are sighted to provide us 
> with some constructive criticism on how we can make the site more visually 
> appealing. Most of the visitors to our website are sighted and a visually 
> appealing site will help keep their attention and reflect the 
> professionalism of the organization. Please send your comments to us via 
> email to
>
> Info at NAGDU.ORG
>
>     The second way you can help is by providing us with content. What we 
> really need are some graphics, especially pictures of people working their 
> guide dogs. Although posed pictures are good, photos depicting action are 
> better. Again, you can send these pictures to us at the above email 
> address.
>     We would also like to remind you that we sponsor the NAGDU Information 
> & Advocacy Hotline. The hotline currently offers general information about 
> service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),   as well 
> as specific guidance concerning restaurants, taxicabs, and health care 
> facilities. Callers needing immediate assistance can connect directly to a 
> live trained advocate. Future plans for the hotline include summaries of 
> each of the state laws concerning service animals, more industry specific 
> information, and guidance in a variety of languages, such as Mandarin and 
> Arabic. The Hotline is available anytime by calling, 
> toll-free,888-NAGDU411 (888-624-3841). Comments about the hotline are also 
> encouraged and can be sent to the above address.
>     We look forward to hearing your comments and receiving your 
> suggestions. If you need any further information about the National 
> Association of Guide Dog Users, please feel free to get in touch with me. 
> My contact information is below my signature.
