Up Up and Away Kite Club

Greetings Fellow Kite Fliers !

As many of you know, the Up Up and Away Kite Club of Seal Beach has “Kite Club Sunday”
on the second Sunday of each month. For those of you unfamiliar, it's your typical “SUAFYK” gathering.

With August quickly approaching, we wanted to give you a head's up that instead of the
Regular Sunday Fly on the 14th, we will once again be having a Night Fly on the evening of the13th.

Been to one? You know what to expect...If not, here's what happens:

Fliers gather in the afternoon for flight and enjoy chill time. Then, as the sun falls away, the hardcore bunch
sets to attaching their lights (button cell, bike flashers, LED's, and yes, even Fiber Optic) to their kites
and the standard gentle breeze puts the show in the dark sky. It's quite the sight for fliers and non-fliers alike.

If you haven't figured it out, you're invited...

Please join us North of the Pier.

For further info, please contact the club's email address or mine via glen.e.rothstein@gmail.com


Best Wishes & Winds,

Huntington State Beach Fun Fly

This just in from Rod Milburn..

Hi there,

Some of us have decided not to attend the San Diego New Years Day event. As an alternative we decided to have a small fun fly between 12N and 4PM at Huntington State Beach on New Years Eve day, December 31st. That way those who choose to attend the San Diego event can do both if they want to. So far there are only a few of us but we thought we would extend an invitation to the Seal Beach group. Since I don't have all of the addresses perhaps you could get the word out. The location will be near lifeguard tower #14 across PCH from the Cabrillo Mobile Home Park. Unfortunately the parking fee is a little high at $15.00 for a day pass. I realize its kind of late notice but it would be helpful to know how many are coming so if folks would RSVP to RMMGHG@Gmail.com it would be appreciated.

This year we're not planning on a pot luck or picnic or such like as we just don't have enough organization for that. That may change depending on what kind of response we get.

Rod & Marti Milburn
