We will be hosting an open house on Tuesday, August 20, from 6-8 p.m., at our campus. Potential clients, volunteers, or anyone who might be interested in supporting the organization is invited to attend to learn how an assistance dog changes the life of a person with a disability.
There is no pre-registration for this event, so please join us on August 20. You will be asked to share some contact information at our registration table upon arrival.
To request a sign language interpreter for the Open House, please contact Laurie at lcarlson@candocanines.org or call 763-331-3000 at least two weeks in advance. We'll do our best to accommodate late requests, but availability is not guaranteed.
Also, the first 75 people in attendance will receive free Culver’s custard, thanks to the generosity of Culvers-Golden Valley!
