Hi Joyce and all,

Someone correct me if I am wrong. 
I believe I had posted the suggestions of a resource list in early December,
and several ideas had offshooted from that. Someone had brought up the
recording classes idea, because we had been discussing charging a fee for
this resource list, and we could also charge a fee for accessing this class
library as well, or that is what we had been contemplating. I believe it
could be compared with the recent card discussion; nothing official but
hypothetical suggestions were being thrown out. 
Deb offered today to assist in audio editing recordings of classes. We were
again off of that message discussing hypothetical options with this idea,
with possibly presenting to the board, I am not sure. 
This is my knolledge and what I perceived of the conversation. 

I apologize if I am overstepping in the next part of my message or being
rude. I am simply trying to offer a suggestion of how we tackle the
fundraising issue. 

To my knolledge, I do not think that we have formally decided on a
fundraising avenue. I think ideas may have been presented to the board, but
not sure. We need to get working on this fundraising soon, because a big
market for us is going to be convention. What I think we should do as a
group, or maybe the board should do is go through all of the ideas, and put
the advantages, disadvantages, and how easy it is to persue and what we
would need to do. From there we could decide what would be best for us to
do. We do not necessarily have to stick to one fundraiser. 

I apologize if this message was overly forward, and I am not trying to tell
anyone what to do or act against the board. I was just trying to offer a
systematic approach that may help the devision grow. I love this group and
really want to see it stay alive and grow. 

Thank you

I want to ask how a conversation went from talking about a list of reference
material posted on the Krafters Korner website  got to changing  the price
and classification of membership and prices of classes?
 
Let me say I  didn't know anything about this and I haven't been  online
over the weekend and Ithink folks are talking about this and it comes  down
to as things stand right now recordings, patterns and information on pass
classes are not available to people unless they took the class and saved
that information themselves.  It is not available for sale or anyone.
 
We have spoken about in the future doing something with classes, but until
it is figured out by the board and people are in place to edit recordings,
and  agreements are made with everyone involved this is not even being
considered at  this time.  When it is considered it will have nothing to do
with what has  been done in the past.  
 
Right now I need all of you to help figure out how to pay our expenses and
that is a tough one since we don't have any idea how much our expenses will
be  until we have a year under our belts.
