I would love to be involved more. I have been a part of the division for a few months now and I have a lot of craft ideas and talents. However, I don’t know anyone personally I don’t really know who exactly does what. I think it would be great if when someone joined, there was a survey they filled out regarding what craft they do, which ones they would be interested in teaching and so forth.
