There is always the problem that sometimes classes are at times when people have conflicts and I have missed many I would like to attend because of this. I wish there were a solution for this because I think as often as not non-attendance is because of life\u2019s responsibilities. I would propose that people contribute a small amount per month to help maintain recordings of classes/patterns/stitches. I do very much like that we can go to the groups.io but I have never successfully found the ACB crafters patterns on that and never received directions that actually made sense to me as to how to find them. So perhaps if NFB crafters did something similar to that it would solve part of the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Just some thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Jeanette Kutash <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'> NFB-Blind-Crafters <nfb-blind-crafters-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tracy Mousseau via NFB-Blind-Crafters<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, May 03, 2026 9:31 AM<br><b>To:</b> Courtney F.
