[Nfb-krafters-korner] Let's keep it up!

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Hello folks,
 
I just wanted to give you a little report and pep talk.  We had 69  classes 
that were given in 2015.  We had a real rush of classes done in  December 
to beat 2013 number of classes which were 63 classes given in  2013.  We want 
to at least tie with last years numbers, but we want to  distribute these 
numbers during the year.
 
It has been figured that if we give 6 classes per month we will top last  
year's number.  Now I need to say we are on schedule.  As of the end  of 
April we will have had 24 classes thus far this year.
 
We need to keep it up and going during these next spring and summer  times.
 
Classes are slowing down and we need to keep them going even thru the nice  
times of weather and the winter no matter where you live.
 
I thank those of you who have come up with the idea of a monthly  
class.[Dixie-dish towel-knit, Lindey-Origami, Catherine-knitted block  stitches]  We 
will be starting a new monthly class being a Prayer Shawl  class.  This will 
rotate,  teachers and methods with patterns of  shawls[knit, crochet, loom]
 
Cathy has been doing a class per month in a variety of projects[crochet,  
macrame, loom].  
 
So glancing over the above that leaves 1 or 2 classes per month to hit our  
6 classes.  We would be happy to have more classes, but we will not be  
cramming them in at the end of this year.
 
June 1st is not far off and that is the deadline to book your Xmas in  
August classes and have the class proposals in for the first half of  August.  
June 15 is the cut off for the second half of August Xmas in  August bookings 
and class proposals.  Cathy has submitted her class for  August, come on 
folks let's get thinking.  You can repeat classes done in  the past, too.
 
We are now accepting classes for the end of May, June, & July.  We  can do 
conference telephone classes, email classes and soon we will be offering  
telephone conference classes held at times conveniet for any time around the  
world with local call in phone numbers.
 
So you folks who live down under, West coast, South Africa, Mexico,  etc.  
Stay tune and we will let you know.
