<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Juliett,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Peace!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fraternally yours,</FONT></DIV>
