Hello.
I’m Patty Fletcher, your new Guide Dog Users Incorporated membership committee chair. I’d like to personally invite every member and friend of Guide Dog Users Incorporated – GDUI to the following two events.
These events are open to everyone member or not.
Please mark your calendars and join us as we celebrate the holidays with joy and remembrance.
*Note*
I’m looking for people who would like to serve on the membership committee with me.
This year, as a member of the board, and membership chair my goal is to strengthen and grow our organization so we may band together and eradicate discrimination against those who choose to walk with a guide by their side forever.
We can’t win if we don’t stand together.
Please be in touch at: patty.volunteer1@gmail.com if you’d like to serve Guide Dog Users Incorporated – GDUI members with me.

Please join us as we offer a general blessing for all current and future guides and honor by name those who have retired within the past two years. We will also feature our much-loved “Audible Candlelight” memorial, calling out the names of those guides who have passed on into Glory.
Many thanks and tail wags to all who have submitted names for our 2024 Blessing via Zoom, 5 PM US Eastern Time.
In addition to our general blessing, we will be honoring individual names of the following.
• Newbies (teams newly matched within the past two years)
• Retired guides
• Guides in Glory (who have crossed over “Rainbow Bridge”)
Also, if you would like to remember someone whose life represents a significant contribution to the blindness community in general or the guide dog movement specifically, we will take time to remember these names during “The Blessing.”
We look forward to seeing you in the virtual world of Zoom.
