New GDUI Affiliate in Texas Holds its First Meeting
From Pam and Winnie deep in the heart of Texas. Our first Texas GDUI conference was a smashing success. We had planned for somewhere around 60 participants, but over 90 people attended.
This simply testifies to the need for such an organization in the Lone Star State. Reps from The Seeing Eye, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Southeastern, Upstate New York, a part of Pilot, Leader Dogs, and Southwestern Guide Dogs from Texas were present. We exchanged a lot of high-quality information. Thanks to those who participated, especially those who traveled to Austin from out of town.
