[Nfb-krafters-korner] card committee

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Cool...neat idea you are doing this year!  That will make things much simpler.  I like Ramona's idea of taping the card to the "pouch" or Zip Lock bag so all cards in there have cats. Etc.  If you do the same thing with the messages, it should make it easier to keep things organized.

I'm getting excited about Convention!!!

Cindy

The messages are Brailled already and the people do have a choice of which message that will go into their card.  They pick from 2 large card designs and 2 small card designs and thenpick from our messages. Happy Virthday, Get well & Congratuations.  It will be up to the buyer.

Cindy and others;
I was in on a chat about the cards and what I am confused about is there was talk about inserts, with the sayings on them.  
Are the cards blank, inside or not.  I thought the person got to pick the saying.  
If so, I sure hope they are already brailled.  

I like the idea of taping one model of each on the table or having it stapled to a piece of braille paper, so it could be opened and closed and
also be passed to someone, if necessary.    Would the cards fit on hole
punched braille paper and then they could be put in a lite weight note book, for display.

This would not damage the cards, accept for handling.  

I have some lite weight grant note books,at home.

Terry,

I appreciate your willingness to help out this year being in charge of the volunteers at the Exhibit Hall.  I will check my schedule and let you know when I can volunteer.

It will be very similar to last year.  The table will have both sizes or cards.  The small ones are $3 and the large ones are $5.  An envelope goes with each card.  Yes, they are already Brailled with the design and "writing" on them.  These are to sell so that a person can take them home to "send or give" them to family and friends.  We are selling cards, not helping buyers write a "personal" message in the cards they purchase.

I do not remember all the cards that were for sale last year.  I do remember cards with hearts, cats, truck and teddy bear on them.  Someone from the committee will have to answer that question for you.  I'm hoping there is a better way to "sell" these cards because last year they were just put on the table and they got mixed up and it was hard to keep them separate on what was what.  

I would recommend having one card of each style taped to the table.  Tape the inside down so people can look at the outside of the card where the picture is and also still see the inside of the card.  I would have some type of file system like a Large Zip Lock bag for each "style" of card.
Braille the outside of the Zip Lock Bag so you can easily locate the style someone wants to purchase.  Seriously having all the cards out on the table that are for sale is a mess waiting to happen.  Keep it simple!  I can remember last year people saying, I want a card with a CAT on it so then we would search to find cards with cats.  

As Treasurer, I will provide a money bag for you to make change.

Thanks,
Cindy

For selling the cards, what supplies will there be at the table?
2 sizes of cards
List of cards, please
Will the inserts already be brailled?
I sure hope so!  I can not afford to bring a brailler.
How will I know the prices of items?

I need to speak or e-mail someone from the committee, if I am going to help with the table and get others to help with the table.
Henry and I both read braille and have money identifiers.
I have not had a chance to read the ajenda, yet, so do not know when I will be available.
By the way, it was just posted that the ajenda is on line!

Read up and start letting me know, on Monday, when you can help at the table, on 7/6 and 7/7.
My home number is 301-916-8549 if anyone from the committee has any answers for me, over the week end.
Leave a message.  I most likely will be hard to get.

I will be at my work e-mail address until about 2:00 and off on Friday.
Thanks for any answers or advice.
Joyce and I are playing phone tag.

Terry Powers
