🌟 Thank You! 🌟
I’d like to say a huge thank you to Chris Mattoon for sharing his valuable self and information as well as everyone who came to our Mix and Mingle event tonight 🎉. It was truly wonderful.
🎧 The recording link will be out soon. We had a tiny tech glitch at the beginning, but very little was missed.
🙌 We had a great turnout, and I’m so grateful for the large attendance. I hope everyone had an enjoyable time.
🎁 Congratulations to Maria H. and Nellie! They were our lucky door-prize winners! 🎉👏
📅 Coming Up for GDUI Members
Our Annual Membership Meeting takes place Saturday, October 18, at 1 PM Eastern.
This meeting is very important for members to attend. Your voice matters 🗣️. If you show up, stay, and help us reach quorum, you can become a real moving force within the organization.
“You want change,” you say? I believe you! But change cannot happen if opportunities like this pass you by.
So please—mark your calendars 🗓️ and get ready for another fantastic event. Not only do we have business to handle, but there will be more door prizes 🎁 and another amazing guest speaker.
🎤 Guest Speaker: Ann Chiappetta
Ann Chiappetta, long-time handler of Guiding Eyes guide dogs, will share on a much-needed topic.
🐾 Ann has been a guide dog user since 2009. She’ll discuss the changes in her needs as a handler—now using a support cane and working her third dog in a rural setting where sidewalks are scarce. She’ll also share insights about changes in training methods and equipment from both her guide dog school training program and her home training experience.
