Good morning, all,

As some of you may remember, I posted several months ago, asking for advice
on how to accustom my new guide dog to chorus rehearsals and performances.
I'd like to share an update. My guide York has now been onstage with my
quartet several times, and one of these was a high-pressure situation: our
first regional competition.

I'd like to share the essay I wrote about this experience. I was amazed at
the degree of helpfulness and consideration I received from fellow Sweet
Adelines, and I think the essay could be helpful to others in a similar
situation.

The essay was published by Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and
Literature, and it can be found here:

Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement! Many of the
suggestions you offered were quite helpful! I'm so grateful to this list.

With best,
Emily & York
