[KeyStoneChapter] Keystone Chapter Meeting Recap and Links

[David Goldstein]

Hey there, Keystone Chapter Members and Friends,

We had an excellent turnout for our April meeting at the Penn Museum on Saturday! We enjoyed donuts from Dunkin and delicious cookies from Brooklyn. Most importantly, we all got to meet Aria, Lily's daughter! We listened to Presidential Release #537 <https://nfb.org/sites/nfb.org/files/2024-04/April_2024_Release_Chapter_Version_Final6m2a7.mp3>. Harriet gave some details on the NFB National Convention <https://nfb.org/get-involved/national-convention> in Orlando from July 3 through July 8. After the meeting, most of us headed to White Dog Cafe to enjoy lunch together.
