Chuck Blackwell Award
Chuck Blackwell Award 2009
The Kansas City Kite Club is NOW accepting nominations for the 4th Chuck Blackwell Award, a tradition that began in November 2006. The Chuck Blackwell Award will be presented to a Kansas City Area Kiter who best demonstrates the outstanding traits that Chuck Blackwell (1958-2005) exemplified. Chuck was usually one of the first kiters one would meet on the field, always with a positive comment, or an offer of help. He would often go out of his way to help others enjoy, or understand kiting more. He loved kiting, and always strived to share that passion.
To accomodate members who are unable to attend the Annual Party, we are beginning a new tradition this year. Nominations are received online and voting for the Chuck Blackwell Award will take place the week prior to the Annual Party. Whatch your emails on Monday for the ballots!!
WE NEED YOUR NOMINATIONS ASAP(we only have 2 right now) via email to the webmaster and will be read at the event. It is what Chuck would have wanted.
All KCKC Members in good standing will be allowed to cast ballots for one nominee. Winners will be announced at the Holiday Party. In case of a tie, the highest-ranking Executive Member present will cast the tiebreaking vote.

- Team Larkey (Linda, Randy & Ryan Larkey)
- Gilson Family (Alan, Susie & the girls)
- Chris Clark
