Subject: Conference Call - Is This O and M Program Right for You

It is sometimes difficult to obtain O and M instruction through our
vocational rehabilitation services due to a shortage of instructors
and other reasons.

Leader Dogs in Rochester, Michigan, offers an orientation and mobility
program that can help solve this problem, and you don't have to be a
guide dog user or even want to become a guide dog user to participate.

Guide Dog Users of Kentuckiana (GDuKI) invites you to participate in
our conference call this evening (Monday) to learn more bout this
Leader Dog program.  The call is at 7:00 PM Eastern (4:00 Pacific and
1:00 Hawaiian), and the dial-in
number is 605-475-6006 and the code is 294444.

Please be prepared to mute your phone when asked to do so. Even a very
small amount of background noise can be very distracting, and is
inconsiderate of others on the call.

All are welcome.

Subject: do it all with one call

Become a member now of ACB Lions, ACB Families, and/or the Library
Users of America; you can do it all with just one call.

ACB Lions holds a conference call on the first Thursday of each month,
and it is an opportunity to share ways we can be involved in our local
Lions Clubs.  ACB Lions helps sponsor travel for ACB scholarship
winners, and we hold a lunch and a mixer at each ACB national
Conference and Convention.  Dues are $15 a year or $150 for a life
membership.

ACB Families holds a support call on the first Sunday of each month
and a business meeting on the third Sunday of the month.  Our support
calls feature interesting discussions, sometimes a speaker.  Families
will hold three activities at this year's ACB convention - a campfire
sing, a Bingo, and a breakfast and program.  Dues are just $8.00 a
year.

The Library Users of America sponsors "Library without Walls", a
bimonthly conference call that gives us a chance to share book
recommendations on a specific topic.  "The LUA Ledger" is published
two or three times a year, and LUA presents quality programming at the
ACB national convention.  Dues are $12.00 a year or $150 for a life
membership.  LUA also has three chapters - California, Kentucky and
Texas.

For more information or to pay dues for ACB Lions, ACB Families, and
Library Users of America, call 502-897-1472.  You will be glad you
became a part of these growing and active ACB special-interest
affiliates.
