Big note for us is this is SDKC meeting weekend, Since many SDKC members will be attending Kite Party our meeting will be moved to the third Saturday March 19.

To be an official Kite Party attendee you must be a registered kite flyer. You can register at:

You don’t have to be registered to attend, just to fly in the official KP roped off flying fields. It is a big beach, you can fly anywhere else! Significant others who are not kite flyers don’t need to be registered. Registration is limited to 75 people so don’t waste flyer spots. Registered and can’t go? Be sure to let KP know so maybe someone else can take your spot.

Be sure to read the guidelines/rules.

Wacky Holiday Gift Exchange. Basics – Bring a wrapped gift, take a gift home. General Rules – All gifts put in a pile. Names are drawn of participants one at a time. First person picks a gift and opens it. Next person drawn can pick a new gift or steal a gift from anyone who has already opened one. The person whos gift was stolen gets another and opens it. Any one gift can only be stolen twice. Third owner keeps it. Rinse and repeat until all gifts are gone and all participants have a gift.
Gifts – something in the $20 range is the goal. Ideally something kite related but not strictly enforced. Something you would want to receive.
