WFGKC 9.16.2020 Update
Two more days till I kick off the We Fly Global Kite Conference. Who knew that running a virtual kite conference would be so much work! I really am loving it and really looking forward to sharing the whole experience with you. Today and tomorrow I am heavily focused on working out the final little bits and bobbles, then settling in for the trip to the World Kite Museum in Long Beach, Washington, where I will be broadcasting from. The beauty of this whole event being virtual is that we can all be in different locations around the globe but easily come together and share this amazing experience in one 'place'!

Not only will there be recordings for you to watch AFTER the weekend is over, but I am also gathering questions and comments from folks to be shared during the event. So if you have a question let me know! Challenges: I hope you have had a chance to look at the challenges. Some of you have already entered into a few of the challenges, and it is absolutely amazing! If you didn't know about these, I highly encourage you to go and have a look. Make sure to submit your challenge submissions by the night of September 20th. For more information about the challenges check out: https://www.fortunafound.com/wfgkc-challenges I have been blown away by the folks that have submitted challenges so far and I am working hard on some special awards to show my gratitude for you sharing your journey and being so willing to try this whole idea. The creativity is truly inspiring. Thank you for being so... well.. being so you!
