Can anyone from Texas A & M send me some information about the local kite
group?  I know that there was one active here about one year ago.  Are there
still people here who are active kite flyers?  Contact me below, please.

Thanks,

Robb

Well, it's time for my periodic plug...

The American Kitefliers Association has members all over the country.
The benefits of joining the AKA include:

	- subscription to "Kiting!" the bi-monthly publication of the
	  AKA. Kiting contains articles on kites and kite people,
	  reports of events and discussion of all facets of kiting.

	- a 10 0iscout at participating member merchants.

	- liability insurance (only for U.S. citizens).

	- discounts on AKA merchandise and publications.

	- membership directory.

There are lots more things as well, but these are the ones that I
remember.

Note that last bit. The membership directory contains the names and
phone numbers (and email addresses for some of us) of the membership.
There is also a directory of affiliated kite clubs and contact people
for the clubs.

So, call 1-800-AKA-2550 for membership information. And tell them that
I sent you...
