Description

 In this episode of White Canes Connect, Lisa and David look back at the 2023 NFB of PA State Convention with emails and a voicemail from attendees. The emails were read using AI, so let us know your thoughts. We also talk about the 2024 State Convention in Erie coming in November.

We share some audio clips with holiday messages from previous guests of the podcast, like Suzy Wilburn from Southeastern Guide Dogs (ep 060,) Sue Brasel, The Blind Angel Gardener (ep 080,) and Juliette Warren from Philly Achilles (ep 082) to name a few. We discuss some of our favorite episodes of the year and look at what will be coming in 2024. We'd love to know your favorites! Call, email, or comment on YouTube.
