[Cagdu] taxis

[Juliett Cody]

Dear CAGDU Community and all concerned:

 We have not been able to get a commitment with the taxi companies. Dispatching, keeps telling me that they are leaving a message with the big boss, and he/she is not responding. I had someone go by one of the offices, and they said that the big boss was not in.  Peter   Mansell V. P. of CAGDU, contacted the Access center. although, they could not attend the seminar, they called me.  They now are very aware of the problem, and they will support us . The newspaper want a story.  Should we leave it alone for now?  We could come foward after our seminar. I believe that then we will be better informed as to what to do. (That is after trying to go over there one  more time, and calling one last try.) Some advocates have suggested that after the seminar if we do not get cooperation from the taxi industry, we can begin making public statements as to, " Why it is important to us to educate the industry,  and We did invite them to our event. However, they did not give us  much importance, or something like that. Also that they refused to work with us.  Here in North County San Diego, we have not had any problems yet, but in other parts of San Diego, we have. What do you handlers  or supporters think. Is this something we want to have a short conference call about or should we play it as suggested above? We have a little time yet, but we need to move fast. Please feel free to circulate this e-mail if anyone thinks it would help.

At your service,
Juliet Cody,
President , California Association of Guide Dog Users
