<P class=MsoNormal> The April 18 meeting began at 7:03 PM (CT) with the
introduction by President Newman of NFB Krafters Division President Joyce Kane
(note the unique spelling of Krafters, it starts with a K, not the normal C).
Joyce spoke of the variety of classes offered and how to join the Krafters
Division. Last year 87 classes were offered to members. To join the Krafters
Division go to their website: www.krafterskorner.org or call in on any Monday
night: 1-605781-1000, access code: 875029#. After $20 annual dues are paid you
will choose your class from the website list. A different phone number will be
sent to you for the class you choose via email. Each class has a different
conference call in number.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Following the presentation by Joyce Kane, President Newman
called the regular meeting to begin. There were 14 members in
attendance.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Barbara reported that the cartridge case for mailing thumb
drives to individuals who are members of the Senior Division but do not have
computers would be $2.50 each. If we would choose to use the cassette
cartridge rather than the thumb drive, the cassette would cost
$3.00.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P
class=MsoNormal>
Robert asked for future topic ideas. Becky suggested that we invite a Lions
member to attend one of our meetings to promote the Senior Division and the
NFB in general. Karen suggested that we have someone who has gone into the
professional world as a blind person who would be willing to speak on not only
their work but training they have had as well as technology they
utilize.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
