Cover photo: The Foundation was at a crossroads in the 2006-2007 fiscal year. This piece of art from the cover shows a young woman using a white cane, an older woman serving as a sighted guide for an older man, and a young guide dog team. They are all taking the wisest course at this crossroads - following a sign featuring the Foundation's logo.
