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

[hosbornejr at gmail.com]

Hi Tracy, first of all, I also appreciate Terry P. for hosting the "Chat."

I would think that 7 might be better, but, then again, that would cut into
the dinner times of others in other time zones, so, that right there seems
to be a no win situation. I for one would like to see the chat continue,
but, as you said if there is no more interest, then, we may as well let it
go, and, let Terry P. have a free Friday to enjoy as she wishes.

Those are my thoughts, and, I am sticking to them.

Henry

Terry P is the volunteer host of the Friday night craft hangout.  I
appreciate her giving her time to it.  The hangout is at 6 PM on Fridays.  

Terry says that, for a while now, only one other person has been coming by,
and sometimes no one.  

Can we change that, or has the hangout run its course?  

It can be fun to hang out with other crafters, play show-and-tell with our
projects, and chat about this and that.  It's more fun in person, but can be
OK online or on the phone.  

6 PM is a terrible time for me.  I'm fixing or eating dinner, taking care of
the dogs, etc.  For me, 7 PM would be better.  But I realize I'm on the East
coast, and people in other places might like a different time.  What time
might be good?  A little later?  Some time in the morning, or the afternoon?
I know a morning or afternoon time would cut out people who are working.
Are those people interested in the hangout?  When I was working, at the end
of the day I just wanted to flop down and do something mindless, like watch
TV.  Though I had my knitting in hand while I was watching. 

Anyway, do people have any ideas?  If no one says anything, I will assume
there is no more interest in the hangout, and Terry will be free to spend
her Friday evening in any way she likes.  Though I know she enjoys hanging
out when people hang out with her.

Tracy
