[Nfb-krafters-korner] introduction

[Laurie Porter]

Hi maria:

 Welcome to our group. I just added you as a contact on skype.  We hold 
classes over the phone on a conference call line which you can connect to 
using skype. We also have crafters chats on Monday nights which is the 
afternoon in your part of the world. You can connect with us using skype or 
if you just want to listen, our calling service has the option of streaming 
live over the web.
 Thanks for your interest in us and we look forward to having  you join us.

Peace,

Laurie  ----- Original Message -----
