What a pleasant surprise.  My AKA membership package arrived today.
Appologies to both Marty and Steve--I mailed my application/check
*the day before* the first posting about the membership drive, so I
didn't mention either of your names.  ;-)

I've been a kiter for 21.5 of my 24 years.  It's about bloody time I joined
the club.  I really felt like part of the kite community when the 
membership directory fell open in my hands and I saw the name of someone I 
know.  I flipped the page, and there was another person I know.

Of course, I also managed to find an error in the guide the first time
I looked for something--I wanted the phone number to the Kite Loft in
Baltimore (I was in a hurry to pick up a couple of sticks of AFC .2100 to
repair a kite for the Smithsonian Festival).  Strangely, the guide has
the fax and phone numbers reversed *and* the fax number has been changed
(for those curious, it's now (410)-659-5336).

So anyway, I just felt like posting and saying that after all this time I
finally joined.  Now I need a sticker for my car.  ;-)

Jeff
(who hopes to see lots of folks at the Smithsonian this weekend--he'll be
hanging out with the rest of the KAK crowd--we'll be hard to miss.  Trust
me.  ;-)

Pick up any kite magazine "AKM" or such and hey should have a application
available.  Also your local kite shop should have applications on hand.
  There is an 800 number to call but I don't have it quite handy..

I know one  of the other brothers here will have it.

	Nonetheless, the AKA membership allows you a percentage of discount at paricipating merchants, insurance at sanctioned events, and insurance during
private flying time.

In addition t a membership directory so that you can see who else is involved in youir area.  

Sounds good to me..

Jason

I'm new to stunt kiting and I'm wondering if AKA is something worth joining
or getting into.

I'd appreciate anyone's advice or comments.

btw, please reply with a private letter rather than a public reply.

Thanx
