[Nfb-krafters-korner] classes & membership

[Nella Foster]

I wonder if we could have a list of members who would be willing to offer
one on one assistance when needed.  Maybe there could be a list of members
and what craft they can assist with.  They could also say if they offer
assistance by email, telephone or both.  It wouldn't be a formal class that
way, just one member mentoring another member.

I wish I could offer to help out in this way, but don't know enough about
anything to be useful.  I volunteer to confuse people. Lol

Also, a student may not learn as well from one instructor as they might from
another instructor & that student would have to only wait three months
before the class would be taught again & not have to wait a year or longer.

This is just something to keep in mind & consider.
