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

[SHELLEY SCHUETT]

Please read this email to the bottom, because there is a lot of information
included and it applies to everyone. 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.  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 organizations 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

5 combs Operation Christmas Child

5 boxes of crayons 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

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