[GreaterPhilly] [NFBP-Brandywine] Fwd: You’re Registered–Learn More about #NFB21

Thu Jun 24 18:12:27 UTC 2021

Hello chapter members!
I hope that everyone is having a fun uneventful summer so far!
For the NFB convention in November, for our chapter I can donate two dozen oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to be given away as a door prize. Would that be acceptable?
Please let me know if this is OK to do
I know in the past somebody else gave away attend of cookies and I’d be more than happy to do the same for our chapter
Please let me know
Cindy Lou and Jada
