AKA Convention Workshops 2006

Des Moines, Iowa Oct. 2 – Oct. 7, 2006

Greetings fellow Kite Flyers.

I have been asked to coordinate the workshops at the Convention.

What I need now are ideals for workshops.

Below is a small list I came up with.

You don’t have to attend to make a suggestion. I just need some input.

Now the hard part. Would you be interested in presenting a workshop or know of someone who might be interested.

One and a half hour time span.

The hardest part is I need a commitment by 7-1-06. This will allow for time to print the convention brochure.

You may post a reply here or talk to me privately.

Any other ideals.

Indoor Make and Take:

There is talk of the presenters being able to collect a fee for the cost of the project (non paper hand outs). This would be variable based on the project.

Fighter Kite. Graphite and special fabrics = $10.00

Miniature kites for beginners.

Advanced Miniature kite. Charlie Sotich, class for people who have taken a Charlie class before.
