Hello,
The information about Kevin should be taken out, it should really
have Juliet's information.
We need to take out the information about the phone numbers of
the affiliate office, and put the correct numbers.
Thanks,

Robert Stigile

>The front of the brochure shows the Whozit logo, with "National
Federation
>of the Blind of California, California Association of Guide Dog
Users."

>The first inside panel has some quotes from guide dog users and
reads:

>"Guide Dogs are not robots, they do not automatically take us
wherever we
>need to go.
>  They are,however, smart well-trained, and loving animals that
help us get
>from one point to another safely and quickly by our commands."
>  Robert and Wonder (which we can change to the new dog)

>"Guide dogs are not pets or show animals for everyone to pet and
praise.
>Guide dogs are intelligent certified dogs guides that have been
through
>intensive training in order to assist blind people with travel.
They should
>only be praised by their handler.  We would love to educate you
about them,
>just ask us."
>   Juliet and Marley

>  "Guide dogs are not deprived slaves.  They are well loved,
exercised and
>played with.  They even get healthy portions at mealtimes.  They
play often
>and get out more than domesticated dogs.  All and all, a guide
dog's life is
>pretty good."
>  Luis and Alabama
