Dear Friends September <strong>2018</strong> On the eve of Israel’s 70th Independence celebration, last April, we took a break from our everyday work for several hours to dedicate the Puppy Development and Training Campus. After years of planning and bureaucratic obstacles, the opening of this campus marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Israel Guide Dog Center. Our goal is to create more guide dog partnerships. At the same time, we want to improve the services to our clients and conditions for our faithful dogs. We were pleased to host many of our friends, partners, graduates, and donors at the opening ceremony. In particular, our President and Co-founder, Norman Leventhal, came to Israel accompanied by members of his family. He moved us all with his heartwarming remarks. We are grateful to everyone who has been with us on our journey and to those who will accompany us in the future. With your support, we will continue to work energetically towards the coming challenges and dreams. This newsletter is largely devoted to our new facilities in the Puppy Development and Training Campus. We hope that by highlighting our new facilities this will shed light on the work of our dedicated staff and volunteers. This month, three representatives of the IGDCB will be traveling to Sydney, Australia to participate in the Biennial Conference of the International Guide Dog Federation. This Conference will enable us to increase our professional knowledge and strengthen our ties with other guide dog schools throughout the world. Ami Toren, Director of our Training and Instruction Department and Todd Jurek, Supervisor of Training at the Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, California, will make a presentation outlining the results of the mutual cooperation between our two schools in the area of 'clicker training' – a method based upon positive reinforcement training. Your continued support and generosity will enable us to move forward and fulfill our dream of creating miracles in the lives of many people. Best wishes for a healthy, fruitful year! Noach Braun Co-Founder and Director 3
