Yes, I probably will if you want to take one of my classes. I am also in
charge of the annual Christmas party. That is unique and fun, coming up
again real soon. I know a little about Georgia. I know that they have a
Great NFB group down there and I would encourage you to reach out to them I
am certain they have a chapter somewhere around you in Atlanta, in fact, I
know they do. You can look that up on the NFB website and search for a
chapter near you. I was a chapter President for 5 years and I know I was
always thrilled when I heard from someone who would join us and we were able
to reach out to. I do not know much about the commission for the blind in
Georgia but the local chapter will help there also. See how much info you
are gathering already. Check out also our Monday night chats, it is a
telephone call in on Monday nights at 8:30 and you get to ask questions and
put names to the voices. You can get info on this on our website or follow
along to the list to call and chat. It is a nutty friendly group on Monday
so stop on around. Not sure about this Monday cause it is Labor Day.

Hello Terry,

My name is Naima Leigh and I live in Atlanta Ga.

I don't know my commission for the blind in my state, but I heard of my
library for the blind and need to visit them to learn more about these
services. I get digital books and in braille from them.

Will you be one of my teachers when I get my footing for this new
experience. What other crafts does this group do?

Thank you

All advice is welcome and appreciated.

Naima

Hello Naoma,
I am Terry K and live in South Carolina. I have been reading your posts
along the way and wanted to make few suggestions, if I may. It will take you
a little while to learn all about Krafters Korners but you will. We do have
a fund if you can not pay the membership for a year. I would suggest you go
to the website, krafterskorners.org and read as much as you can so you might
learn a little that might interest you. I am not sure where you live but I
would also suggest you contact your Commission for the Blind in your state
for help in training. The first thing they will suggest you doing is to join
the National Library service for the Blind and it it is there you will get
more info on services and reading. I am totally blind and I am one of the
crochet teachers here. I had to retrain myself when I lost my sight but in
addition to me here there are a lot of others here who do beautiful crafts
and you can come along and do it too. Keep plugging along and you will be
doing a lot of things real soon.
Terry K

Thank you Ramona

I joined last night around midnight, and I have been getting a good feel of
this group and love it.

I talked to my mom about joining classes, yeah, the $20 is a bit high for me
since I'm on a budget. She told me that her sister, herself and mom all
crocheted, knitted, and sewed when they were younger. She said also it was
easier for them because they have sight. How can you teach a nearly blind
person how to nit, crochet and use a sewing machine safely? How can you
teach a nearly blind person this over the phone? How many days a week are
the classes? If I miss the scheduled time can I make it up? Can I pick the
time or is it already set? How many students will be in the group? Are there
any accessible crafting books for the blind? How do you read and understand
them? Do you use the fat needles to craft with? Is there any accessible
sewing machines for the blind? Can you use a sewing machine if you don't
know how to sew?

Naima, we are glad to have you with us.  You can pay your 20 dollars dues
through paypal or you can send a check to our Treasurer who is Cindy Zimmer.
Our Website is pretty easy, but check it out, and see if you have any
trouble. There is no other charge, and if the 20 dollars is not practical
for you, we can work something out.   

Our President is Joyce Kane.  It is hard to tell how long you have been
silently following this list.  But if you have questions, don't be shy.  I
will try to remember to dig up Cindy's email if you want to contact her
offlist. I should have it in my head, but it is not there.

Hi Jill
Is that $20 per year or per class? When I pay do I have to pay on line or
can I pay over the phone?

Thanks

Naima

P.S.

How can you teach a almost blind person crafting over the phone?

Hi all,

I wanted to share my good news.  I told a few of you on the chat Monday
Night, but wanted to let others know.  I have accepted a position with the
Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services as a vision rehabilitation
therapist, also known as a rehab teacher.  I start September 16.  I hope to
share our wonderful group with the individuals I encounter with my job.  I
hope to be active in the group, but if I am quiet, I am busy, not dead!LOL!
Prayers appreciated for this transition from stay at home mommy to working
woman!

Jill
