[KeyStoneChapter] Keystone Chapter May Meeting Recap

[David Goldstein]

Hello there Keystone Chapter Members and Friends,

I hope you had a great weekend! We had a very informative hybrid meeting Saturday at the Penn Museum and via Zoom. It was nice to see so many people come out to the meeting in person. We heard Presidential Release #516 <https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/2022-05/may_2022_live_release_short_chapter_version.mp3>. In his remarks, President Riccobono talked about the upcoming National Convention <https://nfb.org/get-involved/national-convention> in July in New Orleans. After the meeting, 11 of us went to CycleBar <https://www.cyclebar.com/location/center-city>® to see the facilities where our June 25th spin fundraiser will be held. Here are all the major topics and links we talked about:
