[Nfb-krafters-korner] Henry's class?

Tue Oct 13 12:38:28 UTC 2015

To Joyce and All Concerned;
first of all,I did put in my class proposal in the early part of August. 
That is when Dave Andrews (or the List Serve )was having something done to 
the site,and classes were appearing and disappearing at will.
I am not the one in charge of putting the classes up on the site,so,don't 
blame me if my class is put up late. I certainly do realize that Joyce and 
Cindy S.have a lot on their plates,(just as we all do.)with 
crafting,jobs,and life in general.
Joyce,if you want to reschedule my class for a later date this year,or for 
the beginning of 2016 that is fine with me. Also,I believe that there is a 
conflict of dates for October 22nd. I believe that that is when Joyce may 
have scheduled a membership meeting for that night,and that was to be the 
first night of my class.
In closing,I do not want this discussion to become a fight between 
Joyce,anyone else,or myself.
Henry

Joyce, thanks for all you do with this group.  Those of us who are receivers
and not contributors do not realize how difficult it is to organize and keep
something like this going.   Uou find a craft, adapt it and teach it.  You
even offer the kits.  The kits themselves are time consuming to put together
for us.  I don't have the patience to count all those beads, but the cord
etc.  It takes everyone working together to make anything successful.  As
president, you see things run smoothly.  If one person does not do his or
her part of the job, then you have to fix it.  You have a lot of
responsibility and you have accepted it and are fulfilling your obligations
far beyond what is required of you.  Thanks again for your dedication and
work to this group.
Linda B

We need to have rules so things can run smoothly.  I would like to see
teachers submitting class proposals 8 weeks before the class begins.  It is
hard enough to get teachers to contact me to get a date and then submit a
class proposal 5 or 6 weeks before the beginning of the class.

If the teacher submits a class 2 or 3 weeks before the class begins it takes
a certain length of time to post the class to the website.  I do not know
anything about doing websites.

A date was given back in August for this class and the teacher forgot to do
the proposal.   The last week our WebMistress computer hard drive crashed
and I found that out today.    We are dealing with people who are giving
their time and efforts to do classes.  I thank all of the teachers for doing
this job.

I don't know where else you can get as many free classes that are given by
people and work to put descriptions into words for each of the blind people
here.  I don't know where you can find crafting classes for the blind and
visually impaired.  I don't know where else you can have an email list to
ask your How tos as a blind person and get answers fast without even being a
paid member.  You know they say, "You get what you pay for!"   Well you are
getting it for free around here.  I wish you all remember that and help with
keeping this running, by giving a class, showing up for classes you signed
up for donating some time to help organize or plan out something.  It
doesn't hurt giving when you get so much back from this division.

I try very hard to keep things going and I do lots of classes, besides
attending Monday Night Chats and other's classes.

I did not get a set of rules or job description before I started this
division.  I am always here to listen to suggestions and ideas, but help is
needed to keep things running smoothly.

Joyce Kane, President
NFB Krafters Division

There is a problem with the way class sign ups are done. It is just wrong
for us instructors to have to plan way out and know all of this information
and then students to have to wait till the very last minute. Because I did
not know about Henry's class even though he knew, in order to take that
class, I have to attempt to change my schedule. These classes need to be
posted as soon as the dates are set. If the current method of sign up does
not allow for that, then a new method needs to be found and it is doable.
Why does it have to be so hard? Is the group about rules and procedures or
is it about the spreading of information?

Henry,

Your class is starting October 22nd?
