Welcome to the CCB Courier for July 11, 2025.
New Website of Interest
There is a new website, theblindvine.org, which houses all the resources for blind people in California in one place. This means having up to date news, grants, conferences, and all the events and classes for each month for every blindness organization in California. Hopefully this can help people get connected to resources and community beyond their local area.
Guide dog users will like this:
Memorialize the guide dog that means or meant so much to you with Danny’s Guidedogs labrador retriever or german shepherd complete with harness! This
beautiful crafted led free pewter even simulates the dog’s fur. The statue is made with fine led free pewter and is produced by master craftsman George Kysor, owner of the renowned “Baker Art Foundry”, Placerville California.
Guide dog handlers, puppy raisers, guide dog trainers and family alike will cherish this remarkable statue weighing one pound and standing 4.5 inches tall,
2 inches wide and 5.5 inches long and is of a shiny led free pewter polish.
The dog is in a sitting position looking slightly up and is sporting a guide dog harness and the dog’s tail is laying on the base pointing to the lower
right corner of the pedestal where the dog is mounted.
For further inquiries or to order, contact Dan Kysor at 916-706-1431 Or email
