Hello, I am a GEB grad, and so I contacted them about this as soon as I saw it. It was simply an oversight, and they will make sure it does not happen again. This is (in part) the response I received:
"Hi Jeremy - You are indeed correct, it was an oversight not to mention Window-Eyes, and we apologize. Thanks for your input - we always appreciate it. Best, Lisa Lisa Deutsch Vice President for Marketing and Development See our new Guiding Eyes Official Apparel by Lands' End at www.guidingeyes.org/store.

Thought You might find this interesting. In fact, I wish GW Micro would contact Guiding Eyes about this. Guiding Eyes is launching their wegbsite tomorrow. Notice in the email I'm forwarding, they specifically mention, "JAWS!!" There is a place to email their web master, so I did. As much as I'm looking forward to getting another dog from them, I must admit, this offended me. I get so tired of hearing, jaws jaws jaws! I hope more Window-Eyes users will contact them. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 4:03 PM Subject: New Guiding Eyes for the Blind Website Launching Monday, November 23 > > > Internationally accredited guide dog school > > providing greater independence, dignity, and > > new horizons of opportunity > > New Guiding Eyes for the Blind Website Launching Monday, November 23 > > Guiding Eyes is pleased to announce that a new website is on the way. > This new site will enable our graduates, volunteers, donors, staff, > and friends to have a single place to access Guiding Eyes resources. > > The new site provides our visitors with an enhanced online > experience: > > The site’s accessibility to the visually impaired has been > improved, allowing us to eliminate the “text only” site.
