[Nfb-krafters-korner] membership

[Dixie]

I agree that the classes I have taken are well worth many times the $10 I
spent for the membership. I am extremely thankful to each and every one of
the instructors who have donated their time and expertise to teach those
classes.   That being said, though,  there appears to have been negligible
costs to the NFB KK for those classes.  If we have 50 members at $10 each,
that is $500 in the kitty for one year.  I will be interested to hear where
that $500 has gone and what exactly the expenses are that require more
fundraising for the NFB KK at this time.

Dixie,
 
I have not gotten a report  from our Membership Meeting held at the  NFB 
Convention in Orlando Florida on July 6th, 2011.  So until I receive  the 
report I can not make comment to you or the list.  The report was given  at
the 
meeting and I am waiting for these reports to come to me.
 
Our division is only 3 years old so there has not been much time for our  
treasurery to grow or for us to have membership grow.  As was stated a
short 
while ago in 2011 we had just over 50 paid members.
  I hope you don't mind that I use you for an example, but just since  
January 2011 to date you have participated in 23 class sessions here on
Krafters 
 Korner   That does not count classes taken in July 2010 to December  2010. 
 So I believe you received your $10 worth.
 
I am always working hard for the NFB Krafters Division to make our  
membership grow and spread the word of what Krafters Korner has to offer
blind  
crafters.    
 
I would like to see our treasurery grow in order to meet expensives and  
create some opportunities for our members.  I will be planning a meeting
with 
 our new board to welcome them and get feedback from the  Convention.
 
Krafters Korner is for everyone and everyone makes Krafters Korner what it  
is.

Before I  pay for another year of membership I would like to know if we can
please  see an accounting of where the funds are going?  What exactly does
$10  get used for and go to?
Thank you.

to all:
Membership  goes from July to July.   We did have a special for folks in  
April or May I believe  that if you paid back at that time your membership  
counted  from
that time to July 2012.

Technically, unless you  paid at  Convention in Florida or sent your 
membership via PayPal or mail  mostly  everyone's membership dues of $10 are
due now.

The only  way you can  check  if you think you have paid for 2012 is to  
email to Diane our  treasurer. at 
_dianefilipe at peoplepc.com_  (mailto:dianefilipe at peoplepc.com) 

I  have not yet received the  membership list that was collected at 
Convention  yet.

Please  contact Diane and ask her for her mailing address or  you can go to 
 
our website KraftersKorner.org and click on the membership link  and  it 
will

bring
you to PayPal.  Do not send payment via PayPal to  us  [as mine or Diane's 
email address] you have to go to our website  and go to  PayPal.

We have new classes coming up in August  remember you get  one free Try It 
Class and then membership needs to  be paid for you to attend any  other 
classes.

Once you sign up  for a class you will receive a  confirmation of that 
class 
with a  phone number to get into the  class.

August 8 is a Monday Night  Chat mini class and Monday Night  Chats don't 
count as a  class.
