Another thought - most NFB divisions contribute to NFB national funds such
as White Cane, Sun, Imagination, etc. As Federationists in this division
perhaps we could at some point do a fundraising project so that we could
also contribute nationally.

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.
