<p>Hey there, PA Federationists,</p>
<p class="p1">Five meetings, one fundraiser, and some strong updates headline this week’s <a href="https://youtu.be/gTVdkzW9ygo">Federation Focus</a>. We kick things off by wishing Lisa Bryant a speedy recovery following surgery. On the calendar, note that the Capital Area Chapter meeting is postponed, while the DeafBlind Division, Happy Valley, Greater Berks, Erie County, and the Pennsylvania Organization of Blind Parents are all meeting as scheduled.</p>
<p class="p1">Looking ahead, the Keystone Chapter’s Sip. Savor. Support. fundraiser is coming up on April 28 at Landmark Americana in Philadelphia—an easy and delicious way to give back.</p>
<p class="p1">We also celebrate big success from the Greater Philadelphia Chapter’s popcorn fundraiser and the PABM Spring Fling Blind Vendors Showcase. Finally, don’t miss important reminders about National Convention, scholarship deadlines, and how NFB Newsline can keep you informed every day.</p>
