[Nfb-krafters-korner] convention

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

To my understanding, They were given a sample constitution, of the NFB and ours was created, based on that sample.
This is my understanding of what Joyce sad, Monday night.
Joyce has not been online much.  She is working hard to get a special pump for her diabetic issue.  She is trying to get a waver so Medicade will get a pump that she can use.
Please keep her in your prayers.
She stated she had not read many e-mails, when she came to the chat.
This pumt will make her life much easier and less tragities, due to low blood sugar.
Lets be patient, please.

Terry P.

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.

small division of a much larger organization.


>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.
