Subject: Seeing Eye adds training for GPS users

The Seeing Eye announces six opportunities in 2006 to attend a
one-week session on the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to
enhance your navigation skills. Used in conjunction with your Seeing
Eye dog, GPS can provide real-time information that will increase your
mobility and provide opportunities for an even more active lifestyle.
Without knowing the best ways to integrate GPS into traveling with
your Seeing Eye dog, though, the experience can be confusing - even
dangerous - for you and your dog.

Beginning in April, one-week sessions provide an opportunity for you
to learn the "best practices" as they have been observed and learned
by Seeing Eye instructors. To provide the most individualized training
possible, only two students will be admitted to each class, held
during the final week of regular class in the months of April through
September, beginning and ending on Thursdays. The first class dates
are Thursday, April 20, to Thursday, April 27. Other dates are listed
on the attached application.

You must bring your own GPS equipment to class. Only one brand of GPS
device will be the focus of each class, so classes will be scheduled
based on which manufacturer current applicants utilize. For example,
two applicants working with Humanware's Trekker will be scheduled for
one month, two applicants with Freedom Scientific's StreetTalk a
different month, and two with Sendero Group's BrailleNote GPS yet
another month.

There is no charge for this training. Housing, meals and air
transportation will be provided. Please note: an applicant must have
worked with his or her current dog for at least six months. There will
be no exceptions to this requirement.

Please print and complete the attached application and return it to
David Loux, Director of Field Operations. Fax to (973) 993-8250; or
email a copy to dloux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx For more information, call David
Loux at (800) 539-4425.
