[David B. Goldstein]

Hey there PA Federationists,

Watch now: https://youtu.be/lDEd3x5DhZA. We're in the home stretch to 
the NFB of PA State Convention!. The Senior Possibilities Fair kicks off 
Thursday morning, November 13, followed by four packed days of meetings, 
sessions, and fun--including Family Feud, the auction, and our sponsors' 
presentations. This week brings the final convention planning meeting on 
Tuesday, Coffee with the President on Wednesday, and two Saturday 
chapter meetings in Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley. Plus, the Blind 
Merchants Holiday Party room-block deadline is Wednesday, November 5. 
Don't forget--Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. See you in 
Harrisburg!
