[KeyStoneChapter] May 13, 2023 Chapter Meeting

[Harriet Go]

hi everyone!

Happy May! It is a beautiful month to go to the Penn Museum! And the Keystone Chapter meeting is the perfect day to do just that. That's right! Our next chapter meeting will be this Saturday on May 13, 2023 and held using a hybrid model, with an in-person and a virtual option. The meeting will begin at 10:15 a.m. Please see below for the directions to the Penn Museum and the Zoom link for the meeting.



At this meeting, we will have a special presentation from Clusive! Bruce Sexton will be joining us virtually to tell us all about what Clusive is and what it is for, and how you can receive services from them.


If you would like to contribute to the Dinner for a Week fundraiser, please bring your gift card(s) to the meeting this Saturday and give it to Kat Bottner. If you have any questions about it, please contact her at kat.bottner at gmail.com


After the chapter meeting this month, we have an opportunity to help. Our chapter has been asked by the NFB of PA affiliate to help with the annual mail appeal! What does this mean? It means we will need people to stay after for an hour or two to help out with folding, stuffing, and labling envelopes to be sent out to supporters and members  of our affiliate throughout the state. The envelopes will contain a letter of appeal to ask for donations from supporters, members, and friends. The donations we receive provides some much needed financial support for the great work we do in our NFB of PA affiliate. If you are able to stay for even a bit, we could definitely use your help. Many hands make light work. Best part, we will do lunch afterwards.


We are collecting dues for 2023 now. The dues for membership is $10.00. You may pay by cash, paypal, or by paper check.

  1.  If paying by cash, just bring it to the meeting.
  2.  If paying by Paypal, go to this link: 2023 Keystone Chapter Dues<https://nfbp.org/our-organization/chapters/keystone>
  3.
If paying by paper check, please make it out to "Keystone Chapter, NFB of PA" and mail it to our treasurer David Goldstein at 1425 Parklane Road, Swarthmore, PA 19081.

 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!

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

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


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