Kite Fly Lots of Fun

The Club's annual Kitefly was held at Community Park in Fairborn on Sat May 2, 2009. It was sunny with no rain-- unlike the past week-- and even though the wind was not cooperating, everyone had a good time. The Papa John's pizza was a big hit with the kids too. Several parents expressed their appreciation to the Club members for putting on the event. Thanks to members Joe, Karen, John, Kylie and Dave for making the event a success. Thanks also to helpers Eliza, Joe, Eliza's Grandson, Eddie and Darrell for also helping with setup and with kite building.

Rachel and Zach Compete at Zone Contest

Rachel and Zach competed in the Zone Oratorical Contest held at the Shouvlin Center in Springfield on April 4, 2009. Though they did not win in their divisions they gave excellent speeches. It has been a rewarding experience for our Club working with the oratorical contestants and we appreciate all your efforts. Thanks Rachel and Zach!
