- On the GOOD NEWS front, Frank Pelly related how he has successfully lobbied the City of Pompano to reopen NE 13 St. to kiting. We are hopeful that this will be approved in a forthcoming Commission meeting. This is a good precedent for discussions with LBTS. NOTE: we need to keep offshore beyond the buoys to avoid trashing our access here again.

- There is a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it before the LBTS Commission Meeting on May 26, 2009. We have another general kiter meeting planned for 7 pm on May 18, 2009, also at the Tiki Bar, to fine tune solutions to be presented to the Commission.

- It was suggested to make a well rounded presentation to the authorities including not only solutions to some problems BUT also some of the positives of the sport and benefits for the Township.

- I COULD USE SOME HELP in pulling this together. Also, I need to speak with regular LBTS kiters who have already developed some ideas and solutions to make sure they are fully engaged in this process. It would be great if folks could help out developing the list of positives with supporting statistics, aid in preparing the Powerpoint Presentation, come up with some ideas to promote more involvement/participation by younger kiters and still more. Rushing to put this up, more to follow soon.

- If you can help with leadership, gathering supporting info and helping to assemble the Powerpoint, bring the younger kiters onboard in, have other ideas, please reply here or via email, a copy of this will go out shortly to the folks that signed up at last night's meeting.

- Constructive ideas, solutions and suggestions are welcome.


Thanks for your Participation!!!
