[Nfb-krafters-korner] picking new times for phone classes

Sat May 16 00:01:24 UTC 2015

Joyce, 

I am good with classes in the evening or weekend. I usually work so I like to see classes at 6 PM or later West Coast time. I understand that that gets to be late on the East Coast though. I'd like to see some weekend classes. Right now I'm on maternity leave so anytime works for me. I can even do a seven or eight a.m class ... Lol.

I can't do classes during the week at 5:00 pacific.However I understand that if the classes start at 8:00 my time, that's 11:00 Eastern, so that is probably too late for many people. Not for me, though. I am a night owl and late would be fine with me.  Are the calls recorded so people can hear them when they have time?  They would need to be later, way earlier, or on Sunday evenings for me to be able to attend.

Or maybe they could be both a phone and email class although that would be more work for the instructor.

A 6 PM class on the East Coast would be midnight in south Africa and eight  a.m  in the morning the next day. I don't think you will ever be able to find the perfect time to do a class that would be suitable for both countries. And you have to think about the people who work either on the West Coast or in those countries. Perhaps the best option is to have a weekend class entitled Midnight Madness with Needles.
