Interview with Convention Chair Phillip Whitaker and more!

VP #1 and Chair Annual Meeting and National Convention Committee. I live in Enid, Oklahoma, (Region 8)

Three – Two in Enid and Seaside 2016

John Barresi and his team. They can fly kites the way I can only dream of.

Take in all of the Vendor Booths in the Fly Mart to see all the cool new stuff coming out from the manufacturers. Also to be able to purchase a cool kite or two.

Not competing – With me it’s more about Organizing and letting the fun happen.

Relax and enjoy the experience. Ask questions. Introduce yourself and get to know others attending.

AKA’s 40th Annual National Convention Auction Donation Request

It’s that time of year again and this year more than ever we need your help!!

I’m working with the AKA Convention Committee trying to get donation for our Annual Great American Kite Auction. We number 2,000 members throughout the world though most of these members are in the US. Each year we hold an Annual Convention, this year’s being our 40th, will be held in Ocean City, MD,Monday, October 9th to Saturday, October 14th, 2017!

Along with the Convention there is our Annual Auction, Cecilia Dallmertreasurer@aka.kite.org is Chairperson of the Auction Committee and I have been charged to help with soliciting donations. The Annual Auction is the AKA’s main fundraiser for the year.

How would you like to help the AKA have the greatest auctions ever by helping us raise more money that last year? What we need are items to Auction. This year plans are to have loud and silent auctions, bag raffles and if need be a cash and carry booth.

How would you like to have your product auctioned off, you make many interesting and unique items and where else but at a convention of Kiteflyers could your name get the exposure to that many people interested in our passion at one time.

We would appreciate any size or type of kite or kite related items, unique one of a kind pieces are really great. Size can be from postage stamps to that of the sky.

Remember, this is the AKA’s largest single fundraiser the entire year.

All items are tax deductible.

We are accepting donations up to the day of the Auction, it would just make our job easier if we got your donation ASAP so that they can be cataloged and made ready. Deadline for shipping items is that they arrive no later than September 30, 2017. If it needs to arrive after that date, contact me or the AKA Office for shipping instructions.
