Some will go to the AKA, but we'd appreciate recommendations on what to do with the rest. -- David Gomberg phone 503-996-3083 Box 113, Neotsu Oregon 97364 USA fax 503-994-9692 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Wed, 29 Nov 1995 19:21:18 -1000 From: jwebb@netdepot.com Message-Id: Organization: NetDepot Subject: Re: Kite Available for Good Charity In article <49i1tk$89h@ednet1.osl.or.gov>, dgomberg@ednet1.osl.or.gov (David Gomberg) wrote: > I've been contacted by a company with a number of good, but dated > stunt kites available to donate to a good charitable cause. > Some will go to the AKA, but we'd appreciate recommendations > on what to do with the rest. > > -- > David Gomberg phone 503-996-3083 > Box 113, Neotsu Oregon 97364 USA fax 503-994-9692 David, Is your mailbox full yet? I looked and hesitated but decided to respond anyway. I have done some kiting with my Boys Club kids. I would certainly like to distribute some good stunt kites to my kids to work with. I am a long way from Oregon here in Georgia though. If yo are looking for something closer in, I would sugggest you contact a local B&GCA in Oregon(I know there is an organization in Seattle; hosted the National Conference last year). Thanks for the thought.

I think that many of them would be interested in introducing some nice kites to elementary aged children. After all the usual kite these kids see is the plastic Batman & Robin junk at Kmart.

The kites are not mine, and belong to a small firm in California. The owner has a number of nearly new, Spinoff vintage, sport kites in storage. He continues to look for "good" things to do with them. I have passed all comments and requests along. And I'll continue to do so as more come in. Sounds like people are doing some great things out there and I applaud all of you... Thanks again. -- David Gomberg phone 503-996-3083 Box 113, Neotsu Oregon 97364 USA fax 503-994-9692 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
