As the committee chairman I would like to thank everyone for thier support of the NKM program. We were able to record 438 events for an increase in participation of 30% from last year. The people who registered events recieved a lapel pin and a bumper sticker from GO FLy A Kite along with a thank you letter for your support. Each week drawings were held and 18 lucky members had a bag full or kites from Go Fly A Kite valued at almost $1000. or a kite workshop in a box from Into The Wind arrive on thier doorstep. The biggest prize was from the smiles that were observed on the kids faces at festivals and checking out the kite display at the local library.

One again thanks to our sponsors and the members who made it all happen.
