Joyce:

besides seneding you three private emails on this topic, I am an instructor 
who has posted thoughts on the subject of class recordings, but my messages 
to the divison leadeership has fallen on deaf ears.

>
> With all that has been said it has proven that we need more classes at

> other students.  Now we need to find a way to do this at different times

> I would like to work with you to make this happen.

> The question has been brought up why and who picked classes to be during
> the week starting at 8 p.m.  When Krafters Korner first started out the 
> list
> was small and most folks were living on the East coast and Central time
> zone.  Laurie Porter did our first class and it was a beading class.   I 
> had
> asked  our list people what time and weekend or during the week would  be
> best and that is how we started out.  We did try classes on the weekend 
> during
> the day and in the evening and in the evening during the week.  We  had
> more folks show up for a class in the evening during the week.  When 
> classes
> began we would maybe have 3or 4 and maybe 5 people at a class.   That did
> include the teacher and me in those numbers.  Now look at the  attendence 
> of a
> class.

> So please contact me off list and let's work together to develop this
