Why My Picture Might Be Hanging at the Train Station

In this episode, I catch you up on everything that's been keeping me busy around the NFB of Pennsylvania. As convention chair for our 2025 convention in Harrisburg, I walk through how the weekend went—sponsors, auction totals, banquet fundraising, Family Feud night with Amazon gift cards and consolation candy bars, and the great support we got from the Best Western Premier staff. I talk about how grateful I am for Jane's help running things behind the scenes and how I'm emailing every attendee to say thanks and gather honest feedback. Of course, it wouldn't be an episode without travel drama: a tense run-in with a Harrisburg red cap, a creepy pitch-black train station, and a long rideshare wait getting home from Malvern. I wrap up with what's next, why I'm hoping to get back to weekly episodes, and how you can hear more convention content over on White Canes Connect.
