[Nfb-krafters-korner] Chats

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Chats are open to members and non members.  Chats are usually  discussions 
with a topic.  We do have guest speakers and hosts of the  chats.  Some of 
our chats we give instructions for a quick project, but it  is then a chit 
chat with your choice of working on the project or working on  your own 
projects.  Example: Next Monday Night Chat is a Knit  Together.  Charlotte will be 
reading or someone will read the pumpkin dih  cloth pattern line by line so 
those of us wanting to knit it can do that.   If you don't knit, you can 
still join us and work on what you want and just join  in with the chit chat.  
We will share the pattern with everyone so they can  finish it if they 
didn't get to that.  
 
It is different then a class.  There is no sign up, the phone number  is 
posted on the list and the website for chats.  You can always check the  
calendar on the website for upcoming Chat topics and we don't always have a  
scheduled topic for Monday Night Chats.  So you can always stop in and see  if 
anyone ishanging in there on a Monday Night.  
 
We have been fortunate the last few months for all the great Chat ideas  
folks have suggested.  So keep on letting me know what topic or information  
you are interested in learning more about and I will find find someone that 
can  help us learn.  You don't have to host a Chat as it is more of a 
gathering  of minds and sharing their input on these topics.
 
That is how we decided to designate a monthly Tech Chat.  So we can  share 
our knowledge, thoughts, experience or what we have heard about technical  
stuff and how the blind/visually impaired can use it.
