> ***A bit about Tammy***
> 
> I have dealt with vision problems all of my life but was introduced to
> crochet as a teenager.  I fell in love with all of the beautiful skenes of
> yarn that my neighbor had lovingly made into Granny Squares.
> 
> I remember sitting in her floor as she patiently spent time teaching me the
> basics. My Grandmother worked with me as well.  Over the years I have made a
> few items but have really grown my skills now that I have retired and gotten
> involved in the NFB Krafters’ Division.
> 
> 
> 
> In that time between learning and growing my crochet skills, I have spent my
> life teaching at Church, in Schools, at Adult Training Centers and now with
> the NFB Krafters’ Division. With a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in hand, I
> spent 17 years teaching in Special Ed classrooms. I transitioned into the
> Rehabilitation System where I taught a variety of skills from how to cut up
> a whole chicken to crossing streets. Now in retirement because of health
> issues, I continue to love learning new craft skills and sharing the ones I
> know. I became Division President in 2018.
> 
> 
> 
> Outside of the Krafters’ Division, I spend much time working on committees
> at my church and with the 21st Century Lions Club here in Nebraska. I am
> also serving as a Board member of my local NFB chapter.
> 
> Keeping busy is a welcome thing.
> 
> 
> 
> The conference call will be recorded and made available from our Seniors
> Division website. (Note- the dial-in number is not at this time functioning.
> I will get it fixed.)
