[NFB-Krafters-Korner] What is the Caring and Sharing class

[SHELLEY SCHUETT]

Please read this email to the bottom, because there is a lot of information
included. Caring And Sharing is an ongoing project that Crafters Corner has
started. Every last Monday of the month we will be discussing a different
charity, so that we can learn more about it and the type of donations they
take.   As you know this makes this project open to everyone since you don't
need to be a paid member to attend the Monday night chats. We are hoping to
give a report on the number of items are Crafter Corner members donate to
charity over the next year at the 2023 convention. There are four ways of
participating in this project. One you can give to a charity of your choice
and let us know what items you have donated so they can be included in the
charity group count. Two you can come to the Monday night chat and make
craft items for that charity and donate to them or the charity of your
choice, or you can join the caring and sharing class and be part of their
email list and Saturday classes.

Also if you volunteer your time to any charity or organization that help out
people you can report those hours.

 

So if you're a member of Crafters Corner and like to give back write and let
me know what the craft items you have donated and how many of that item, how
many items you have bought and who you gave them to and we would also like
to know how many hours of your time you donate to working for a charity and
which one it is. We won't be keeping track of how much each person donates
just the amount of items.

Here is an example

Miscellaneous (purchased items)

5 combs

5 boxes of crayons

5 articles of gentle used clothing

To Wellness Woman's Shelter

4 hours volunteer time

At local food bank

Hand crafted items

3 hats

6 soap sacks

10 dishcloths/washcloths

All given to Operation Christmas Child

 

There are two ways to report your donations. One if your part of the caring
and sharing email list you can send your donation numbers there, or if you
don't want people to know what you're giving you can write me at
shelleyschuett at telus.net <mailto:shelleyschuett at telus.net> 

You may also send a picture of your crafted items that can be shared with
others to let them know what sorts of projects we have been working on.

 

On behalf of Crafters Corner I'd like to personally thank you for helping
make this world a better place by caring and sharing.
