[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Ideas wanted for Friday night craft hangout

[Ramona W]

You should definitely not restructure anything for me because my 
participation is likely to be occasional.  However, this hangout is at 
4:00 pm my time, and that is worse than dinner time.  Many people 
probably go out on Friday evenings, but if home, later would seem 
better.  6:30 or 7:00 I could do at least sometimes. That is 8:30 or 
9:00 eastern and 7:30 or 8:00 central. Still not so hot for west coast.

If people show up, maybe the chat could be the beginning of successful 
Saturday and let  it continue through the next day for those who are not 
on the chat.  Food for consideration. I am sure I am not not the only 
one who travels some on weekends and spends some time with friends on 
Fridays, maybe even a show from time to time. I enjoy knowing about what 
yarn others are using and where they get it.  Just one topic, but can be 
repeated or continued.  I would be interested in knowing what people are 
doing with the moccasins they are making and how they like them.  There 
are things that can be covered on the list, but more personal on the chat.

Best,

Ramona
