[Nfb-krafters-korner] classes and times back to Dixie

Fri Jan 7 16:21:35 UTC 2011

Here is the list of officers/board members from the web site.  Although 
there is a heading for "constitution" there is nothing there.  I'll post in 
the link to the page where I found this as well.

By the way how does the NFB track each divisions funds?  There has to be a 
record some where, yes or no?
