This is a message for everyone but especially Kathy F,

 

I would like to have a History of KK if it goes on the website or not. Kathy you are so very good at finding out things and organizing it so well, would this be something you might consider. KK has about reach a milestone. If I am correct KK was established 10 years this year. Do not know if this is correct. I do know Joyce Kane founded this group but in what year? I know she joined it with NFB as a dvision, but do not know when. I know about the link in braille monitor but that was limited. Who are the orginal board members, are they still here? Who is the longest member still here? Is there a charter member list? Then the small details like what crafts were the first, what we have expanded to from say start 10 classes to 67 in 2014. Now we need to state we have gone to email classes in 2015. When did we go Internationally, what different countries have joined us? I would like to be proud of where we have come from and what we have done. I have been here for
8 of the 9 years and I am sure others like Terry P and Dixie possibility 9, not sure. Unfortunately times moves on for all of us, people pass or leave, and we need some roots to be proud of the accomplishments we have done. Past Board members, that they get the credit for their effort in moving this group along. Maybe even something to show our 10 years of service. I might even suggest if this is a good history, to have it printed and sent out or given as 10 years of service to the blind community. May Joyce live many more years but some marriages do not last this long and we need to know where we came from and where we are going. Each Crafter Matters, sorry had to get that in. So Kathy you are so good at these things would consider doing this research? Everyone else needs to express what they think to help out.
