[Nfb-krafters-korner] Happy New Year

[David Evans]

Dear Terri and All,

I don't believe that there is a charge for a Division table at the 
Convention, selling or not.  I might be wrong, but I have run other Division 
tables and state tables and there was never a charge.  You just must make 
sure it is manned and used.
Verify it with the National office and Mrs. Jernigan.
Just set up the manning in shifts and everything will go fine.
If you are selling things that belong to other people, they should be 
labeled and priced in print and Braille.
Someone needs to be responsible for the handling of any money or the person 
that owns it needs to be there to sell it.
I would suggest that each person selling something pay something toward the 
Division as a donation.
Besides this list serve, the division might think about selling some of the 
products through it's own catalog to help support the Division activities 
and promote Handicrafts among the Blind.
Members could write and sell some how to books in alternative formats for 
the use of the Blind.
You could even have a newsletter with tips and how to's in it and ads for 
the products the members make.
They could share source to obtain materials and things like that.
Everyone is busy, but if it is important enough.  They will make the time.
We have a new machine Embroidery business. We make teddy bears with a 
T-shirt and put a name on the shirt for people who have new borns.
We can do hats, caps, head bands, visors, all manner of shirts, tank tops, 
shorts, jeans, bags, beach towels, scarf's,gym towels, bath robes you name 
it.
We have our own graphic artist who can design logos and make custom designs.
Send us a picture or description of what you want and we can make it for 
you.  We are starting a clothing line based on now popular "tattoo" art 
designs
We have a software program that lets us scan a picture, drawing or 
photograph and convert it into a embroidery pattern and our state of the art 
machines will then sew it for you.

The name of our company is Jadembroidery.
