Workshops--2007
Kansas City Kite Club is planning winter workshops.
Workshops will be held the second Saturdays of most months starting in
September and finishing up in February at the North Community Firehouse
Room located at 110th and North Oak, Kansas City, MO. Most workshops are
from 1-4 pm.
 One
of the first classes will be Buddy Banners. Buddy Banners will let a sewer
and a non-sewer get together as a team to make two contrasting 13 foot
tall banners. Either sign up as a team, or contact Linda to be matched to
another interested participant. Costs are being figured but should be $20
or under a participant-do you want banner poles to be a part of the kit,
or separate? Plans and firm dates will be announced next month in the
newsletter.
Contact Linda Larkey at 816-415-9363 or email airhead@kc.rr.com for more
details.
Other classes that are being considered are Tu-Pak Sleds (a great kite for
gift giving!), miniature kites, DC Coyne, Patchwork Rok, Train kites, and
sewing workshops for club bols. If you have a request, make it soon.
