As for me and Karli, we are doing well and we have just returned from our annual National Federation of the Blind convention. We got to see old friends and make new ones. Now that we are home there is work to be done. First order of business is the California State board of guide dogs for the blind will be having a meeting via conference call on July 20th at 1:00PM. And I would like to get as many of us that we can to call in. At this meeting the situation concerning the out-of-state schools providing follow-up services to their clients will be on the agenda along with other items that are important to us. Second, I would like to have a meeting on August 2, to discuss the findings of the CA board and also begin to work on our state convention program as well as fund raising. The meeting will be at 6:30pm. I will be sending the call in information for the CA board meeting as well as our cagdu meeting in the next few days. I will also send out a few reminders during the week so that we can all try our best to attend the CA board meeting. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tina Thomas <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cagdu president <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
