American Kitefliers Association

The earthquake and tsunami of March 11 devastated much of Japan. As kitefliers, we all share the same sky, and now we need to help our friends in one of kiting's earliest homes. Please make a donation to our special Japan Kite Friends fund. Proceeds will be sent to the Japan Kite Association, for use in both humanitarian aid and for repairing damage to the Japan Kite Museum. All donations are tax-deductible. All donors will be entered into a drawing for some special kite prizes (to be held at the end of National Kite Month).

Prizes available from the drawing are:

• a kite by Jon Burkhardt
• a kite by Barbara Meyer
• a miniature kite by Dave Butler
• a hand-painted kite by Diane & Dave Butler
• a Rev bag with no-snag handles
• three subscriptions to Kitelife.com

Thank you for helping to keep Japan's kites flying!
