We have to maintain our web site and that is not free and as we get larger, we most likely will have to contribute to the National treasury. Just because the chat line is free, does not mean there are not any hidden charges we do not know about. Just the cost of buying paper, writing checks... Can add up.

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.
