American Kitefliers Association

One of the best is Jamestown ND, second weekend in June, Wings on Strings. Contact Mike Gee or Chris Dodson for more info.
It's one of the best, and not to be missed!

Kevin You're HIRED! You are already doing the job well!
We have the Arvada festival (April 9th?) and Fort Collins on April 16th. John Farrell will likely report on the Fort Collins festival. Arvada I'm trying to reach them.  More events and monthly fly updates coming soon.

I have wanted to go to Jamestown for awhile, this might be the year. 

I want to get the word out there to all the region 7 folks to get the info on any of their events to me, especially the upcoming events for this spring and summer so I can get that to Phil for the Kiting Magazine. Did anyone fly on New Year’s Day? Any pictures? Send them to me.
Any events planned for National Kite Month? There has been a challenge thrown down for region 7 to produce some events for April. Also the chance to be the designer for the poster is still there, just barely.

BTW Folks, Kevin joined our club's Meetup site Way before his appointment to office.

I don't know if these are big enough for Phil to use from the Meetup site, I may be able to upload larger copies tomorrow.

Happy Sunday folks, hope where ever you are it is warmer than where I am, 20 right now.

There are just 5 days left to get your events in for the spring issue of Kiting, you can send them to me or post them here or put them on the event calander, either way lets get some stuff going. Here in Utah I am working on a couple events for NKM, will have more details soon.

I know that Todd Copeland has details about some stuff going on, hope he is willing to share that info with us. AJ in Cedar City will be at this event,

So, lets get some more info in and get out there and fly a kite!!!
