[nfbmi-talk] Michigan Starts a New Guide Dog Committee

[Fred Olver]

I'm just curious, why it becomes necessary once three or four individuals 
have dog guides why you feel it necessary to have a division? It seems to me 
that anything your division wanted to do could be endorsed and acted upon by 
the organization known as the state affiliate. How about a white cane 
division since there are so many cane users?
