***Open Invitation***
The Braile Institute of OC has asked this Webmaster to come share a day of Kites with them. I happily took the day off from work & will be @ El Dorado Park in Long Beach off the 605 Fwy. Dave from Kite Connection has generously donated "Kites for Kids" (even I can put one together and fly it) Craft Kites & I'm bringing 2-4 kite bags for "show & tell" plus a demo or two. I told them that I'd try to get some more Kite Folk to come by. LET ME KNOW if you can join us. We'll be in the "Golden Grove" section of the park which is on the North side. There may be a small "Day Use Fee" to get into the park. CALL or EMAIL me if you CAN make it! Really! No Foolin'! This means YOU!
