[Nfb-krafters-korner] membership

Just a word of thought here. Fundraising is not always about covering
current costs, you have to have funds to do new projects. I personally think
this division could do many wonderful things for crafters if it has the
funds to make future ventures possible.

Sorry you couldn't make it to convention, but hopefully you will get a copy
of the Treasurer's report that was given at the meeting soon.
