THE KANSAS CITY KITE
CLUB is an active club that encourages participative involvement in
kiting activities. The KCKC primarily focuses on getting people together
to fly kites giving them a feeling of camaraderie and a chance for
friendly competition.
The KCKC was organized
in the summer of 1991 by Carolyn & Chris Moore, Wind Wizards kite
storeowners. We were officially AKA sanctioned on October 24, 1991. We
supported and nurtured the club and its members by organizing fun flys,
festivals, competitions, discounts to members, and continuous
promotions.
KCKC founder, Chris Moore states, "Because of new technology, there is
more excitement and interest in the hobby, art, sport, craft, science,
and technology of kite flying than ever before! As participants become
more exposed to kiting their hunger is more easily satisfied when there
is an established group in place to encourage participative involvement
in kiting activities. Planning, organizing, and maintaining the progress
of a successful kite club requires the support of its members."
Carolyn and Don Moore,
along with their son Chris, continued to lead the KCKC from their retail
stores until early 2000. At that time the Moore’s consolidated their
retail stores into their Gardner home, and Chris accepted a position as
Kite board Instructor at Kitty Hawk Kites in North Carolina.
A special meeting of
the Kansas City Kite Club was held on February 26, 2000 at Winslow’s BBQ
restaurant at 8:00 PM. New officers were elected at this meeting, and
the following minutes have been assembled by year.
