[Nfb-krafters-korner] Classes and members in other countries

[Lindy van der Merwe]

Hi Barb and all,
Thanks for thinking of those in other countries.
As Joyce says, Skype is a great tool and I am thankful for the willingness 
and know-how of the members who can help with connecting those of us from 
all around the world.
I, for one, would love more e-mail classes for different crafts. Phone 
classes are wonderful and hopefully they will remain popular and become even 
more available, but I believe that e-mail classes can also be a great medium 
for teaching certain crafts and for reaching more people. I think e-mail 
classes just provide more options for both teachers and students in terms of 
dealing with aspects like time differences, learning and teaching styles and 
types of craft classes that can be provided.
The world has become a global village as the saying goes, and I am always 
glad to share with and learn from others.
Thanks to Joyce and you all for making KK a place where everyone can feel 
welcome.
Lindy
