HOT FLASH TO LADY KITEFLYERS April 2008

I can’t believe it. Where did winter go? Spring is here and that means wind for kiteflying! Here are three kiteflying activities in which we participate. Do join us for more LK fun.

1. Fun Fly at Rockaway Beach, Oregon, May 17-18, 2008. Sponsored by the Rockaway Beach Chamber of Commerce, we are joining Associated Oregon Kiteflyers for their arts and crafts festival. We’d love to put some color on the beach for them and make this into an annual event.

2. Washington State International Kite Festival (aka WSIKF), August 18-24, 2008.
Lady Kiteflyers compete on Camp Day as “Crazy Ladies” for fun and banner raising honors. Meet us near our Lady Kiteflyer arch before 9:00 AM on August 19, 2008 to sign up for a day of laughs and fun. For our newcomers, this is an opportunity to fly lots of different kites and to meet everyone.

3. Dieppe, France beckons a small contingent of us this year. Held Sept. 5 -14, 2008, we are making reservations now. Let mirnate@aol.com know if you’re interested.

For info re contributions to our LK kite arch, contact ellenpardee ATcomcast DOTnet

For $4 LK pins contact dbrn AT earthlink DOT net. For $5/pack of 20 personalized LK

Looking forward to seeing you on the beach.

A bientot,
