[Nfb-krafters-korner] convention

[Terry Knox]

Courtney,
Sorry I was not at chat on Monday night. I agree with you that this issue
needs to be resolved. I also know that this was drafted a few years ago by
Ramona, Joyce and Cindy and some others. I am hoping that Ramona or Cindy
might speak up and clearly define this election rules. I would request that
we might hear from our Board members especially founding members for this
matter. I understand how confusing this is for our new members. I will ask
directly on list for clarification.
Terry Knox

>From my understanding from what was briefly mentioned during the first
portion of Monday nights chat, when Krafters Korner was established this
division was told that we needed a constitution & the constitution for the
NFB was adopted.  I have never received a copy of the constitution,
therefore I am going strictly by what was discussed Monday night & what has
been posted to the list.

I am speaking my opinion & hope this matter can be resolved quickly.
