[Gail Paulson]

Hi Juliett,

Adelaide Ortega & I will not arrive until early morning on Monday, so we will not attend the dinner. So sorry, hope we will have another opportunity to get together.

  Juliett,
      I thought I was leaving that up to you, as you have several people to coordinate and I am fairly flexible. I will be arriving on Saturday afternoon and my departure is still unsure. It may be as early as Tuesday or I may be staying the whole week. So, if we could set a time before Tuesday, I would be sure to be there. The NAGDU meetings are on Saturday and Monday from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. Any time other than that is fine with me. Just check with the other CAGDU board members and let me know the time. We'll arrange the place.

  Peace!
  Marion

      Dear All,
          Robert gave me your contact information, so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each of you personally for your service to the National Federation of the Blind and the national Association of Guide Dog Users. Since Peter doesn't seem to have email, please pass this message on to him, as well.
          The strength of the Federation is in our unity and collective action. All parts of our organization work cooperatively to achieve our goals and our special interest divisions are an essential element. As we develop state Affiliates and divisions our work is divided into manageable tasks with knowledgeable leaders. Local leadershyip is essential, as you know the culture of your community and its leadership. For this reason, it is easier to manage local issues and avocate for our constituents with local assistance. likewise, the national leadership can provide valuable guideance while creating a network that spreads across the country and throughout our ranks. The work you do in California has a tremendous impact on the lives of all blind people. I want to express my gratitude to each of you who have chosen to serve in our Movement and encourage you to continue serving as you feel led.
          Robert has advised me that most of you will be coming to the national convention in Atlanta. Though we will be together at the NAGDU meeting, so will a large number of others. I would like to have the chance to get together with you as a group in a more intimate setting than our annual meeting so we can get to know each other and share our ideas, plans, and desires for our future. There are many great places to eat near the convention, so let's plan on sharing a meal and some fellowship in our busy convention schedules.
          Robert has told me that the NFBC convention is in Sacramento this year at the end of October. My daughter is stationed in San Francisco with the Coast Guard and is recently married. I have not yet met my new son-in-law and might be able to make your convention. I'll let you know better later in the summer.
          Until we meet, I wish you great success in your endeavors and offer you my support. If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to call upon me. My contact information is below my signature.

      Fraternally yours,

      Marion Gwizdala, Vice President
      National Association of Guide Dog Users
