those who can't be at the convention may be able to listen to all 
or part of what's happening at the NAGDU meetings.     Debby

Dear all,

                 If you are unable to join us in Orlando for the
meetings of the National Association of guide dog Users at the 
75th
convention of the National Federation of the Blind, we would like 
to
offer you the opportunity to join us virtually.  Once again, 
NAGDU
will be streaming our meetings live for the world to hear! To 
listen
to our live stream, simply visit

<http://www.nagdu.org>http://www.nagdu.org

and find the link to the live stream on the Homepage.  The stream 
will
be available at approximately 6:45 p.m.  Eastern Daylight Time 
(5:45
p.m.  Central; 4:45 p.m.  Mountain; & 3:45 p.m.  Pacific) on 
Sunday,
July 5 and Tuesday, July 7.  Please read on for more information 
about
our proposed agenda.

                 On Sunday, July 5, we will hear from those who 
chair
the various committees of NAGDU, including our Social Networking,
Fund Raising, and Hotline Committees.  Brett Sample, who is an 
NFB
member, is creating a guide dog training program in Puerto Rico
modeled after our NFB training centers.  Brett will share his 
work and
projections with us.  We will also share exciting information 
about
our progress enhancing access to the country's zoos.

                 On Tuesday, July 7, our meeting will be called 
to
order at 7:00 p.m.  sharp.  We will hear from Tim Elder, NFB's 
lead
attorney in our federal law suit against Uber.  Tim will share 
the
most up-to-date information with us first, so join our meeting 
for
this breaking news.  We will also have a presentation by john 
Bifield
from Freedom Guide dogs for the Blind about community & 
residential
guide dog training and a panel discussion by officials of various
guide dog training programs about ownership and the immediate and
long-term considerations every potential guide dog program 
consumer
should know about the practical implications of unconditional
ownership compared to custody.  During this meeting, we will also
share guide dog user related resolutions passed by the 
Resolutions
Committee the prior day.  Most importantly, we will hold 
elections for
vice President, Treasurer, and one board position.

                 For more information about our live stream or 
other
NAGDU related communication, please send a message to
