"...people of accomplishment
rarely sat back and let things happen
to them. They went out
and happened to things."
Leonardo da Vinci
Fully engaged in our sixth
decade, Fidelco stands tall
and proud of its many significant accomplishments in service to
our Mission of providing increased independence and mobility to
our clients who are blind.
Among Fidelco’s most notable achievements is our unwavering commitment
to, and exclusive use of, the German Shepherd Dog as the very best
working dog breed to take on the leadership responsibility for our
clients’ safety.
Successful delivery of Fidelco’s
Mission is based on establishing
a relationship of trust, support
and partnership between the
human handler and guide dog.
This perspective informs Fidelco’s
view and shapes our beliefs and
values. And it starts long before
a guide dog placement begins.
Today, with a spirit of
optimism and enthusiasm, it is our time to nurture Fidelco into the future. It is our time to go out together, in partnership, to happen to things in order to improve and grow Fidelco.
Fidelco asks you to become a life-changer. There are many ways to
do this, to be sure. Donate. Volunteer.
Introduce and share the magic of Fidelco with others. In the words
of Leonardo da Vinci, go out and
happen to things in order to build
a greater Fidelco.
Donations are the lifeblood of
all nonprofit organizations. And
passionate volunteers are the
heartbeat. Your generosity today
will help Fidelco support three new
litters of 22 puppies as they begin
their two-year journey to become Fidelco Guide Dogs.
Working alongside Fidelco’s small
and dedicated staff, there are many ways to volunteer. Raise a guide dog puppy. Create a fundraising event to share Fidelco with your friends
or co-workers. Attend a Fidelco
event (schedule reminder that
Fidelco’s Annual Open House is
Saturday, April 21st). Link to Fidelco
on Facebook and other social media
to help spread the word.
The demand for Fidelco Guide Dogs increases annually and we stand ready. The only way that Fidelco will be able to meet this need, however, is with your help – today and tomorrow.
In advance of your support during 2012, thank you for happening to Fidelco.
Thank you for Sharing the Vision.
