[Nfb-krafters-korner] classes & membership

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Cortney, I like your idea. Since you are very good at loom knitting, you 
could take that area, and several of us are good at needle knitting and 
crocheting, so we could divide up those areas so that one teacher isn't 
getting burned out.
Nella, oh yeah, you do excel in the confusion department, so that area is 
all yours. Lol.
Cortney, I just rethought what I said about you taking the loom knitting 
area, several of us are good in that area too, so we can all share the load 
with you.

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.
