[Nfb-krafters-korner] /Written instructions for classes

[slery]

I'm a little late to this discussion (been sick with respiratory problems
since the end of August), but I did want to chime in and say that we are
working on some things on the website that will take care of some of these
items for the instructors.

Students will sign up on the website and it will check to see if they have
paid dues and then compile a class list automatically for the instructor.
Part of this process is easy but the part that makes it work is what is
taking me a while to learn.

So, while I can't say soon or even a rough estimate of a time-frame, please
know that we are working to making the class process easier for instructors.

Hopefully, at the end of this round of antibiotics I won't have a relapse
since I am back on both inhalers until I am totally straightened out and
stay that way.
