Guide Dogs for the Blind – Update

10/12/2014

 
Participating in this project is a big commitment. Members who are signed up will meet every week and raise a dog for about 18 months. However, the Project Leader, Lisa San Jose, wants to open the project to kids who want to be "apprentices" and not raise a puppy. Apprentices can come to the meetings once a month, participate in events as able and basically learn what the project is like with the goal that they may possibly decide to  be an actual puppy-raiser in the future. Lisa's address is lksj01@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
