[gps-talkusers] Re: FW: Seeing Eye adds training for GPS users

Message

Sarah, I am very interested in your offer.  However, I areceived my guide dog 
from Guid Dogs for the Blind in Boaring, OR.  Is this offer just for your 
graduates?  If so, maybe you should specify that in your offer.  If not, I have 
a Voicemate/GPS from Sendero Group and would be very interested in your offer.  
Please let me know.
Thank You,

  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.
