[GreaterPhilly] Keystone Chapter Holiday Party

Fri Nov 29 16:32:51 UTC 2024

Hey Federation family!

Happy post-Thanksgiving Day!

Hope you all had a great time with family and friends. Speaking of parties
(were we?), here is a follow up and reminder about Keystone’s Holiday party
on December 14th, immediately following our chapter meeting.

If you have any dietary restrictions such as gluten free vegetarian etc.,
please let me know that ASAP.  We will be talking to the restaurant to see
how they may be able to accommodate. While we are not guaranteeing anything,
we’d like to have that information for them so they can suggest alternatives
if they’re able. Please contact me directly at lmarcelbryant at gmail.com
<mailto:lmarcelbryant at gmail.com>  or 215-680-6496.

As a reminder, we are ordering a burrito tray with sides from Don Barriga,
a Mexican restaurant located in West Philly. Cost is $15 for food; Keystone
is handling beverages. We need to collect money and confirm headcount by
December 7th. Use this link for your payment:

Thanks all!

Hello Greater PhiladelphiaChapter members, 

The Keystone Chapter has invited us to their Holiday Party on Saturday,

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> https://nfbofpa.org/keystoneparty 
Reach out to Lisa Bryant with any dietary restrictions at (215) 680-6496 by

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
<https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/08-2024/presidential_release_november_2
024_chapter_version.mp3> #543 in the new shorter format. If interested, here
is the  <https://www.youtube.com/live/zYfaQJ1HtkI?t=155s> November 2024
Presidential Release Live version. 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.
