Dear Fellow NAGDU Colleagues,

 

                I am sending this message from our secretary, Sherrill
O'Brien, who is coordinating our exhibit hall table staffing again this
year. We still need some help at our table to raise the funds to enhance the
work of the National Association of Guide Dog Users, Perhaps some of our
affiliate divisions can step up to staff the table as a division. This year
we will have a staffing pizza training party on Tuesday, July 11 at 8:00
p.m. We will contact our staffers with the location of this party via text
message, so please include your mobile phone number when signing up so we
can let you know where we will be! We look forward to an awesome weekk of
NAGDU events from our seminar on Monday and our annual meeting on Wednesday.
Please check out the agendas attached to this message. All NAGDU meetings
will take place in Panzacola F2. Forward to Orlando!

 

Fraternally yours,

Marion

 

Hello to all who are Orlando bound!

 

It's come around again, our great national convention which wouldn't be
complete without lots of NAGDU activities and excitement.

I am once again in charge of asking enthusiastic volunteers to sign up to
take a two hour shift at our exhibit hall table. You will be helping our
division by selling great fundraising products, and by giving out
information about the important work NAGDU is doing.

 

Please take a look at the schedule below my signature, and send me an email
offlist if you can help.

My email is

Sherrill.obrien at verizon.net

 

Please indicate the date and time you can help, and include your cell phone
number. 

And, according to our NAGDU President, if you sign up,  there just might be
a surprise waiting for you!

 

Thanks in advance for giving NAGDU your time and enthusiasm.

Sherrill O'Brien, Secretary

National Association of Guide Dog Users

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the

and our dreams. You can live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds
you back.
