[Nfb-krafters-korner] At the beginning...

Mon Aug 24 22:59:24 UTC 2015

I thought it might be the original board members.  As the ones that got in
volved with me thru the email list was who helped put things into motion.  

If you go back to before the list started I had this idea and shared it with
Audrey[original secretary of the board] and then contacted  Mrs. Mauer  and
then spoke mainly to Joann Wilson.  So at the beginning it was Dave & me on
the list and look where it grew to now.

Laurie Porter was the first to teach a class via telephone conference call.

We had  29 people at our first meeting in Dallas Texas and I can find who
paid membership then, but We officially became a division I am not exactly
sure as I was thinking it would be voted in at November board meeting in
Baltimore, but Joann Wilson told me in August we were voted in as a
division.  We did submit all the paperwork before the end of Convention to
who we had to turn it into which was July 2008   I have been President of
this division for 7 years,  this week marks 8 years this email list has been
going.

I have a write up regarding the beginning of Krafters Korner.  As that is
the beginning what it was called.  Chartered members please answer this
question, Are Charter members the board members first elected?  Are Charter
members the members at the first meeting to create the division and vote in
the board members?  Or Are Charter members who first started it all?

When you get that answer settled I have the information you will need.

Terry,
That is interesting, Who else, do you know or can you remember? Think back,
I know you might remember, who were the officers, how many classes. How many
members did you start with?

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.

Terry K
