Since the Seeing Eye was fined for an instructor who happens to also be an O&M instructor serving CA students for follow up services the Board allowed Seeing Eye to Serve graduates under the supervision of a license instructor. As of last evening Brian, the Board’s eO has informed the Seeing Eye that they can no longer be supervised by a license instructor. As of now, the Seeing Eye has no way to serve their CA students for follow up other than having them return to the Seeing Eye. As we all know much of the follow up needs to take place In our home communities. The problem is growing more and more out of hand. I sure hope that GDUI will take a stand by sending a letter to the following people. The letter should be sent to Brian and copies to the others listed below. We in CA really need your help.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'>Brian Skewis, Executive Officer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'>California State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><a href="geo:0,0?q=1625%20North%20Market%20Blvd.%20Suite%20N-112%20%20Sacramento%20CA%2095834">1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N-112</a><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><a href="geo:0,0?q=1625%20North%20Market%20Blvd.%20Suite%20N-112%20%20Sacramento%20CA%2095834">Sacramento, CA 95834</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;background:white'>Anna M Caballero, Secretary</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;background:white'>Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'><br><span style='background:white'>915 Capitol Mall, Suite 350-A</span><br><span style='background:white'>Sacramento, CA 95814</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-size:23.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:#F3ECDC'>Governor Jerry Brown</span></strong><b><span style='font-size:23.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:#F3ECDC'><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>c/o State Capitol, Suite 1173</span></strong><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Sacramento, CA 95814</span></strong></span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-size:23.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:white'>Awet Kidane, Director</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-size:23.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:white'>Department of Consumer Affairs</span></strong><b><span style='font-size:23.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:white'><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Consumer Information Division</span></strong><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112</span></strong><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Sacramento, CA 95834</span></strong></span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
