Please distribute the following message as widely as possible.
The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) is a
strong and proud division of the national Federation of the Blind. On
June 29, 2008, members of NAGDU elected a new Board of Directors. In
an effort to be responsive to our membership, the Board would like to
hear from you. Whether you are a NAGDU member or not, we want to know
what you expect from us and the direction in which you would like the
division to move.
On Sunday, July 27, 2008 at 8:00 pm EDT (7:00 Central,
6:00 Mountain, 5:00 Pacific) the Board of Directors of the National
Association of Guide Dog Users will host a round table
teleconference. This will be your opportunity to offer your input and

1.. a nationwide toll-free advocacy hotline;
