Hi All,
As one of the new board members of the Harrisburg Capital City Chapter, I am looking forward to a good year filled with a lot of opportunities.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the meeting in State College over the weekend of March6-8 due to a prior commitment that I have that same weekend.  I am sorry that I will miss out, but I do look forward to receiving reports from those who can attend.  I am definitely in support and favor our new chapter president, Jason Polansky in attending and any other chapter officers who are able to go as well.  If Hillary McFadden is able to attend as another new chapter board member, I recommend that she attend.  Hillary has some experience with the Bel Academy and I hear that she is good in public readings in Braille.  I think that it would be worthwhile for her to be included in the group going to State College from the Harrisburg Capital City Chapter.  My Very Best To You All!  

Mark Pickens

Hello Capital Chapter Members and Friends,

Congratulations to the newly-elected officers and board members! 

Only two weeks away is the BELL-focused NFB of Pennsylvania Leadership Seminar and in-person Board of Directors meeting in State College, from Friday evening, March 6 through Sunday morning, March 8. Each chapter can send two representatives--typically the chapter president and one other leader, but this can vary based on the situation. 

Since the focus of this leadership seminar is on our BELL programs, and since the Capital chapter is planning to run a BELL program this summer, it is vitally important that this chapter sends representatives.

Please let Lynn know right away who will be attending. The NFB of Pennsylvania affiliate is covering the cost of rooms and meals, so don't let that stand in your way.

Thanks and warmest regards,
Joe

Good Morning All,
Hillary, thank you for sending out the below notes from today's Chapter meeting.  Congratulations to all who have been elected to serve as Officers of this chapter.

I am writing to request that Jason contact me asap regarding the Leadership Weekend in March.  My telephone number is 215 208 7582.

Also, please update your Membership list to include Jason.  His information was not on the spreadsheet submitted to National last year.

As a follow up to this, We need your Membership list, including all relevant contact information, and your dues check no later than March 1 so we can resubmit our Membership list to National.

Thank you for your assistance with all of this.
Lynn
