[Henry Osborne]

Hi Maryann;
I think that this is a great idea. It would help to boost a childs self 
esteem,and confidence. I'd like to help out with this Junior Crafters 
Division.
What do you think Joyce and board?
Henry

I am a teacher of students who are blind and visually impaired and on
groups for parents to help answer questions.  Parents are starting to
have discussions about Christmas presents for blind children and one
mom said she taught her daughter to make pot holders on a loom.  That
made me think this might be a great way to expand our group.  We could
begin a group for the junior blind so they could learn crafting from a
young age.  I have noticed that many things my generation would not be
caught dead doing are popular with my children and their children.  I
would certainly be happy to help get the information out if this is
something we would like to work on.  We could set up a few special
classes for kids.  I am thinking of kids 10 and older but that is just
a thought.
