Annual General Meeting and Club Workshop - Sunday, April 3, 2005


Vol.3-2005: March 28th


Winter is over! Spring is in the air and we need to think about getting kites into the sky!


So, everyone is invited to attend the Niagara Windriders Annual General Meeting and Kite Making Workshop on Sunday, April 3rd from 1:00 - 4:30 p.m. at Humberstone Hall, 76 Main Street West, Port Colborne, ON


Brief Annual Business Meeting Agenda:
Treasurer's Report, Fee structure for 2005, Selection of Club Directors for 2005, Flying Dates and Other Events for 2005, Initial Planning for 13th Annual Canal Days Kite Festival, Club Apparel (summer golf shirts with logo, hats, sweatshirts - samples to view and orders taken). Place your order for club apparel and it will be delivered to our first club fly of the season on Sunday, April 24th at Lakeview Park.

Kite Making Workshop:
Bob Luft will lead us through construction of a 14" Kiskadee Kite - a spritely and interesting flyer that will keep you actively engaged with your hand on the line! Bob has been making outstanding kites for many years and will share one of his favourites, the Kiskadee, with us. NO CHARGE for the workshop!

Refreshments will be available to quench your thirst and munch on.

A slide show of the 2004 Canal Days Kite Festival and other shots of our members and their kites will kick off the afternoon.

Membership Dues:
Derrick Jeanes, Treasurer, will be happy to take your membership dues for the year. The Directors are recommending no increase again this year: $5.00 for individual membership and $10.00 for family membership.

Bring your ideas, your enthusiasm, your energy! See you Sunday!
