[Travelandtourism] At the Zoo

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Cheryl and everyone,

    I was simply filling everyone in on the history of the NFB's involvement 
with this issue. Now to take care of a more pressing matter than a trip to 
the zoo.

Peter that must be way before my time, I was there back in 2009, when my 
husband's company had there annual company picnic at the Bronx Zoo, and I 
had no issues.
I am sure if someone has an issue at a zoo in there area they will bring it 
to the attention of NAGDU.
Okay, we have a division for that, and since Margo Downey is the President 
of the NY Affiliate, and wants to become a member of our division, I believe 
we have a very good representation for NAGDU with Travel and Tourism. I am 
also a member NYAGDU, and NAGDU, and I we have a lot of paid members of 
travel and tourism that are part of NAGDU, with this being said, let us not 
put the plow before the horse.
Again, let us drop the issue until, I hear back from Disney or until we go 
there and have issues for ourselves.
