I hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. My name is Tessa and I am a resident of Pennsylvania. I live very close to the Pittsburgh area. Unfortunately, I am unaware of any nfb chapters or anything around the area. I used to be a member when I lived in Florida a few years ago. Does anybody know of anything around here that I could get involved with? Any affiliates or subsections of the Federation? I thank you for your time and consideration. <br>
In regards to myself, I have a pretty much retired guide dog. She’s a black Labrador retriever almost 12 years old. I enjoy swimming, traveling, musicals, history, writing for fun, reading and going to church. I also enjoy cooking, although I find it a little difficult to get the motivation to cook for just one person. :) <br>
If anybody would be interested in chatting, I’m always up for meeting others in the Pennsylvania area. I work as a temporary employee at the department of revenue. I am looking for a permanent position, but as we all know, that is easier said than done in this era.<br>
<br>
I look forward to hearing from you,<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Tessa<br>
