News
Kite making isn’t just for kids anymore! Check

conference, participants’ average age is 55.
Hints for an Easier Activity

Colorations®
Suncatcher Paint Pens. They come in a set of 24
small bottles, each having a pointed end. Colors
in each pack--black, blue, green, orange, pink,
purple, red and yellow.

helpful sites:

iPod Touch users there is a fun app at
