Hi everyone,
Here is an update to some Penn Museum guidelines which will apply to those of us who are attending the Keystone Chapter meeting in-person this Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 10:15 a.m.

Update: Starting this week the Museum now requires everyone entering the building to wear a mask and show either their vaccine card or an image of their vaccine card to enter. This will apply to anyone coming for the Keystone Chapter meeting. There are religious and medical exemptions, but the person must show a document on their doctor’s or religious leaders letterhead explain the exemption. If someone arrives without either the proof of vaccination or an exemption they will not be allowed in the Museum. Our meeting will be held in-person and virtually, and will begins at 10:15 a.m. Please see below for public transit options to the museum.

At this meeting we will recap our holiday events including our support of St. Lucy School for Children with Visual Impairments, discuss our recent and upcoming activities and initiatives, fundraising activities, and the upcoming Washington Seminar

Additionally, our annual elections will take place for our chapter officers. Remember only dues paying members can vote. 2022 dues are $10. You can bring cash to the meeting or pay ahead of time via Paypal or credit card. Just go to our chapter webpage and find the heading "Yearly Dues"<http://nfbp.org/our-organization/chapters/keystone>.

Some things to keep in mind if you are coming in-person to the January 8th meeting.
1. We are following indoor masking guidelines. So please mask-up!
2. Bring your vaccine or picture of your vaccine card, or letter of exemption from the vaccine by a doctor or religious leader.
3. The museum cafe is open from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
4. If you ordered a Keystone Chapter t-shirt, please email me to let me know you will be there and we will have your shirt on that day!
5. Some of us usually have lunch together after the meeting. Everyone is welcome to join in!

Come and learn, share, connect, and help in our movement to make our communities a more equitable place for blind people. If you have never been to a Keystone Chapter meeting before, or haven't been here in a while, it's never too late to start or to reconnect. We are so excited to see everyone there!

For those of you who are truly unable to attend in person, we will miss you and we will still continue to have a virtual component to the meeting so you can still join using this option. See Zoom login info below.

Finally, if you haven't already, feel free to join our Keystone Chapter listserv<http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/keystonechapter_nfbnet.org> to stay connected and up to date on all things Keystone.

Any questions, feel free to reach out!

Let's go build the National Federation of the Blind!

Sincerely,
Harriet Go
President,
Keystone Chapter, National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania
