My acceptance email
Dear Tiffany:
We are pleased to confirm that your application for another Guide Dog has been accepted and a place is reserved for you in our San Rafael three week retrain class that begins Sunday, May 31 and graduates Saturday, June 20, 2009.
You will be receiving your travel arrangements a few weeks prior to your date of arrival. We understand that you may want to arrive a few days early and have made a note to contact you about that possibility before booking your travel. Please be sure you have a current government issued photo ID for your travel. In addition, members of the training and nursing staff will contact you approximately one to two weeks prior to class. Our nursing staff will review your medical information, including any medications you may require and any special dietary needs. Our training staff will discuss any changes in your home or work situation which may have occurred which might affect your ability to complete the training program and work successfully with a new Guide Dog.
A large print packet, and audio CD labeled Acceptance-San Rafael in large print and Braille, will be mailed to you today that includes:
1. A Guide Dog User Contract, Release of Liability, Publicity Release, and Confidentiality Policy. You may either sign and return these forms in the enclosed self addressed stamped envelope or bring them with you to training. The Guide Dog User Contract is not valid until it is countersigned by our Director of Training, which will occur at the conclusion of your training.
2. A suggested list of items you may want to bring for training and general information about our facilities.
3. Our Smoking Policy, Code of Conduct and Communication Protocol.
4. A Training Syllabus including a description of the training program and the information that will be covered in class training and lectures.
5. Words of Advice to Family and Friends brochure.
We are looking forward to having you with us again in the near future.
Sincerely,
Laurie
