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.</p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal">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.

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! </p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal">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.</p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,</p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal">Jessica</p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal">p.s. </p></div><div style="border:none white 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal">I used the help ChatGPT to respond to Annette’s email! </p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Tue, Jul 4, 2023 at 3:01 PM President Capital chapter via Ohio-Talk <<a href="mailto:ohio-talk@nfbnet.org">ohio-talk@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:</p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hello Ohio!</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I was so jealous, yet inspired, as I listened to the opening session this morning. Jealous because I heard all of my NFB of Ohio family cheering, and I wanted to be there so bad. Inspired, because I was so proud of all the affiliates and their accomplishments, but especially ours here in Ohio! I loved the fact that Richard was able to talk so well about our accomplishments this year. Especially the passing of our parental rights bill! I wish I were there with all of you, and I’m sad that my work schedule didn’t allow for it this year. But I am hopeful that Misty and I will be able to join all of you in Orlando next year!
