There will be 10 flying sessions this year. From the Association of Indoor Modelers website:
The 2016 indoor flying sessions will be starting soon and it’s time to pay the bills. The suggested donation is $100. Last year some opted to pay only $10/night and you can still do that if you need. Please consider paying the entire amount so we can afford to keep flying at this wonderful facility.

Parking Alert! Bob and Mert report there are signs up for No Parking from early Saturday morning until Noon. So if you are an early bird you can sleep in a little this month. Historically Noon usually means a bit earlier than that but no promises. (As always if it is getting late and you don’t see anyone you know we might have moved to Mariners Point. Website subscribers wil get an email blast.)

Sunday, October 9, Greenwood Cemetary, Map If You Need It
Time is still up in the air but event will be approx 4 hrs, most likely in the late morning/early afternoon.
The Greenwood Cemetary is hosting it 1st Cheung Yeung celebration (also known as Double Nine – the Google is your friend here). Kite Flying is part of the tradition of the Cheung Yeung Celebration. They are just looking for people to come out and fly kites. There aren’t any kite building plans at this point but most likely there would be some kite wrangling involved.
A bit more info and a few pictures at this LINK
We are of coarse looking for volunteers to fly at this event. A significant donation to the SDKC treasury is involved. Besides, how often do you get an invitiation to fly you kite in a cemetary!
If you can help let Dave know as always at: president@sandiegokiteclub.com
ps: in case you, like me, you were wondering why the Double Nine Celebration (9/9) is on Oct 9 (10/9) the Chinese Lunar Calendar is a bit different that what we are used to.
