So you are newer than I thought.  Well, we're glad to have you.  And if you
want to learn about other parts of the NFB, we'll help you find that
information, too.  The main Website is nfb.org.  

Have a good weekend.

Atlanta Ga.

I found out about the NFB list last night, from another group that I'm in,
one of the members forwarded a email question from a friend.

That's how I got the contact info and list about all of the groups.

I will tell you that our teachers, all volunteers, do a great job of giving
word descriptions. I have taken several knitting classes and love it. I
think there is a beginner netting and a beginner crocheting class soon. The
class times are set. Where do you live?
