השנה כמו בכל שנה "צמד" עמותת העיוורים הנעזרים בכלבי נחייה ארגן חגיגה ססגונית ומרהיבה לציון יום כלב הנחייה הבינלאומי. השנה החגיגה התקיימה בבסיס פלמחים, שהוא קרוב למרכז הישראלי לכלבי נחייה, וכבר מקיים מערכת יחסים של שיתוף פעולה. החגיגה התחילה בהתכנסות ברחבה מול האולם, שם הייתה תערוכת כלי טיס של חייל האוויר. מי שלא רואה היה יכול לגשת לכלים המדהימים ולגעת בהם לאחר מכן התכנסנו לאולם למופע מוסיקלי של להקת חיל האוויר עם נילי זיידל, שהיא מוסיקאית וזמרת הנעזרת בכלבת נחייה. הקהל שמע דברי ברכה מנח בראון, מייסל ומנכ"ל של המרכז, גיא שמחי, יו"ר המרכז לעיוור, רפי כהן, יו"ר "צמד" ואנשים אחרים. היה מדהים לראות קרוב ל-50 כלבי נחייה באולם - היושבים בשקט ומאזינים למופע יחד עם בעליהם. הרבה חברי צוות של המרכז היו נוכחים באירוע. להתראות בשנה הבאה!

This year, as every year, "Tzemed" - the Israel Guide Dog Users' Association, held a colorful and gala event to mark International Guide Dog Day. This year's event was held at the Palmachim Air Force Base, which is located close to the Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind and has been working in cooperation with the center in many activities. The event began with a gathering outside the auditorium, and soldiers guided everyone through an exhibit of small unmanned aircraft and other sophisticated equipment. Those who were unable to see were able to approach the aircraft and touch them as the soldiers offered explanations. Everyone then entered the auditorium for a festive performance of the Air Force musical ensemble joined by Nili Zeidel, a singer and musician who is also a guide dog user. Speeches followed by Noach Braun, founder and director of the Center, Guy Simchi, Chairman of the Israel Center for the Blind, Rafi Cohn, Chairman of the Israel Guide Dog Users' Association, and others. And, of course, the audience also consisted of close to 50 guide dogs, who sat quietly and attentively throughout the entire ceremony. The event was attended by many of the members of the staff of the Center. The photos show a small segment of the audience - people and dogs - and the air force exhibit.
