            The Board of Directors of the National Association of Guide
Dog Users (NAGDU), a strong and proud division of the National
Federation of the Blind, is soliciting input from its members and
potential members. We are considering changes to our membership dues and
amendments to our national and affiliate division constitutions. In the
true spirit of Federation democracy and collective action, the NAGDU
Board is asking you to provide your input and suggestions. We especially
want to hear from those of you who are members of state affiliate
Divisions, as this will have the greatest impact on you!

            The next meeting of the NAGDU Board will be held via
teleconference on Sunday, November 30 at 8:00 pm Eastern (7:00 pm
Central, 6:00 pm Mountain, 5:00 pm pacific). The call-in instructions
are pasted below my signature. Since we consider any guide dog user,
future guide dog user, or anyone who has an interest in guide dog
related issues a potential member, anyone who fits one of these
categories is welcome to participate. 

            The National Association of Guide Dog Users is also planning
some dynamic, interesting teleconference discussions and training
workshops in 2009. Details of these events will be posted to the NAGDU
mailing list, so you may want to subscribe to this special interest list
sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind. To subscribe, go to
