[Ohio-Talk] I’m listening!

[Jessica Stover]

Dear Annette,

It's wonderful to hear about your feelings of inspiration while listening
to the opening session of the NFB (National Federation of the Blind)
convention. It's understandable that you would have wanted to be there with
your NFB of Ohio family, cheering alongside them. The pride you feel for
the accomplishments of the affiliates, especially in Ohio, shines through
your words.

Richard's ability to articulate the achievements of the Ohio affiliate,
particularly the passing of the parental rights bill, is a proud moment for
everyone involved. It's a significant milestone worth celebrating.

I'm sorry to hear that your work schedule prevented you from attending the
convention this year. However, your optimism for joining everyone in
Orlando next year, alongside Misty, is inspiring. I will do everything in
my power to be in Orlando too! Hopefully, the circumstances will align, and
you (along with myself) will have the opportunity to experience the in
person convention next year!

I hope you enjoy listening to the next General session and that the rest of
the convention brings further excitement and fulfillment to you and the
entire NFB community.

Best wishes,
Jessica
