[Jobs] Want to Start Crafters Division of the NFB

[Dick Davis]

Everett,

You're right, it did say "group or division".  My mistake.  I agree with
your thoughts about the nature of divisions.

Well, probably enough on this topic, but I hope our leadership gives the
points you raise some careful thought.  

Dick

Hello Dick, and all,

It would be a wonderful listserv, I'm sure.
Unfortunately Dick, it's not talking about just a
listserv.  It says, "division."  What is a division
needed for, for such an area of life?  A list, fine.
But a division for this?  I thought divisions were
formed in areas where the NFB could help to make
progress, to help improve situations for those who are
blind?  It seems to me, at first thought anyway, that a
"division" formed for crafts could easily take away
from the seriousness of the rest.  Like it's being
watered down far too much or something.  Not sure,
exactly. Just seems silly.  A list would be great.  I'm
there.  I enjoy crafts with my daughters all the time.
But a division?  Come on.  A crafts division is
something I'd expect from other more "social" groups,
not the NFB.  Seems like there's a lack of focus
somewhere.  A lack of understanding for mission, maybe.
