Thu Nov 21 00:10:28 UTC 2024

Hello Greater PhiladelphiaChapter members,

The Keystone Chapter has invited us to their Holiday Party on Saturday,
December 14, 2024. The event will take place at the Penn Museum at 3260
South Street in Philadelphia, PA.
You would have to pay $15 which covers the cost of food and drinks.  There
is a payment link and it needs to be purchased by December 7, 2024. There
is also an option for you to participate in their White Elephant exchange.

Please see the below information from David Goldstein that I copied from
their meeting recap email and if you wish to read their entire recap email,
it is further below my signature. Please contact Lisa Bryant, 2nd Vice
President of the Keystone Chapter for more information.

"Keystone Chapter Christmas Party

Our party, including a White Elephant, happens after our meeting on
December 14! We have invited the Greater Philadelphia Chapter to join us
for the fun. The menu includes a burrito tray as the main course. Eliz will
bake Gingerbread Latte Cookies and Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats if I
ask her nicely. Cost is $15. Pay via PayPal by December 7 at
https://nfbofpa.org/keystoneparty
Reach out to Lisa Bryant with any dietary restrictions at (215) 680-6496 by
November 30.

White Elephant Info

If you are interested in participating in our White Elephant you need to
contact Mary Brucker at (215) 266-4484. What is a White Elephant, you ask?
It is where you bring a gift valued between $20-$25. You draw a number from
a hat. Number one selects a gift from all the gifts brought. Number two can
either steal number one’s gift or select another gift from the remaining
gifts. This continues until all the gifts are gone. If your gift is stolen,
you can steal a gift from someone else or select a gift from the remaining
gifts. In this pollyanna, you do not want to be number one."

Hey there, Keystone Chapter Members and Friends,

It was a beautiful day for our November meeting at the Penn Museum on
Saturday! We enjoyed donuts from Dunkin. We listened to  Presidential
Release #543
<https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/08-2024/presidential_release_november_2024_chapter_version.mp3>
in the new shorter format. If interested, here is the November 2024
Presidential Release Live version
<https://www.youtube.com/live/zYfaQJ1HtkI?t=155s>. It is a longer version
than what we played during the meeting.

After the meeting, 16 of us made our way over to Landmark Americana for
lunch. It was our first post-meeting visit there. The food was good and we
had spectacular service from our server J.

2024 State Convention Recap

I gave a recap of our 2024 State Convention in Erie. It was a long weekend
full of inspiration, education, and socialization with Federationist from
across the state. The Ambassador Banquet and Conference Center was the
perfect setting and easy to navigate. The staffs of both hotels and the
conference center were accommodating and friendly. I also mentioned that
next year’s state convention is in Harrisburg from November 13 through 16.
