                  Hello from the National Association of Guide Dog Users, <>
Please share this announcement wherever appropriate. 

 

The National Association of Guide Dog Users would like to invite you to our next Yappy hour. Yappy hour is a virtual gathering to socialize, make new friends, and have a good time in a non-formal environment.

 

Everyone is welcome whether you are a current or former guide dog user, thinking about becoming a guide dog user, are a puppy raiser or trainer, are friends with other guide dog users, puppy raisers, or trainers, or simply want to come hang out with others for an hour or two on a Saturday.

 

This informal meeting takes place on the first and third Saturdays of each month  unless otherwise noted. By informal, we truly mean it. While serious topics about guide dog users may come up from time to time, we will not hold any NAGDU or NFB business during this meeting. The meeting information is as follows.

 

Date: Saturday, November 15, 2025.

Time: 3 PM Eastern.

.


This new 5-minute survey is open to all service dog handlers across the
U.S. Please help us spread the word by sharing this with your contacts. You
can forward our email, share it on social media, or post it in service
animal groups.


This nationwide effort is designed to collect firsthand data about access
experiences with businesses, public transit, rideshares, and more. Your
feedback will help us inform policymakers, advocacy organizations, and the
public about the state of access for service dog handlers. It's one more
way you can advocate for your rights and those of your fellow handlers.


The deadline to participate is Monday, December 1, 2025. Please take a few
minutes to complete the survey and share it widely. Your experiences matter
and can help us bring about change.
