[NAGDU] Day Care for Guide Dogs at Beep Baseball World Series?

[Heather Bird]

Oh, awesome. That's why I checked, because I was totally confused. Erm, good guide dog handler? Yes, Tech savvy? Absolutely not. *smile* I do not know how to send links, but if you type into google NBBA World Series 2018, the official site is one of your first two results. They have a whole page dedicated to the event. They also seem to have links to watch/listen to previous games from previous WS. Good luck and have fun. I know there is a contact the organizers link, BTW, but while well-intentioned, they are not guide dog experts, which is why I sent this to the Seeing Eye list, my school, and to the NAGDU list, also the NFB Sports and Recreation Division list, because, we, the guide dog handlers, are the experts, and I know there will be a few handlers between the three lists, who have some first-hand experience and can offer some guidance and share their experiences.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Martin Niemöller

Sorry, what does your message "please" signify? Are you saying that Beep Baseball is dum? Or, is that a typo/dictation error, or am I just not getting what you're saying?
