- Rather than continually ask questions like, "are there any kite shops
- in XXX?", or, "are there fliers in XXX?", let me suggest joining the
- American Kitefliers Association. One of the benefits of joining the
- AKA is a membership list. The list also has "member merchants". Member
- merchants give 10% discounts.
-
- Kite fliers are friendly folks. I'm sure that most would welcome a
- call from someone asking about clubs, flying fields, or kite shops in
- the area.
-
- The easiest way to join the AKA is to call the toll free number :
-
- 1-800-AKA-2550
-
- Membership costs $15 these days. A few benefits of membership:
-
- o The previously mentioned 10% discount with member merchants.
- o Liability insurance.
- o Discounts on AKA merchandise and publications.
- o Subscription to "Kiting", the bi-monthly (or is it
- semi-monthly?, it comes out 6 times a year).
-
- Additionally, most stunt kite contests require AKA membership for
- participation.
-
- Sasaki Kite Fabrications offers 15% discounts to AKA members.
-
- If you do call, tell Brookes Leffler that I sent you...
