Klinko's Kolumn by Karla
Spring is in the air! I love
this time of the year when everything is in bloom and the days get
longer and warmer. Speaking of air how about I tell you about our
next meeting. We are going to have a balloon jam!!! Yeah!! Back by
popular demand the one and only Funny Business jam session will take
place. It should prove to be both educational and entertaining. Everyone
bring balloons, pumps and ideas to share!! No matter where you are
in your ballooning I hope that each of us will learn something new.
Now for the business part of Funny Business. I will not be at the
next meeting as I will be away camping in beautifull Paso Robles with
my family for Easter break. So, I would like to take this time to
remind everybody that our elections are coming up in MAY! Please consider
running for an office on the board and be involved. I will NOT be
running again as I have other commitments. Even new members are encouraged
to get involved. What better way to learn and share with fellow clown
friends. I hope that you all are saving up on all of your extra goodies
to sell at our annual swapmeet in May. At the meeting in May we also
will be holding our elections! So plan ahead and pencil these events
in your calendars. Enjoy the beginning of Spring and remember to change
your clocks this weekend.

Notes From Nan
The meeting was called to order at 7:05
p.m.
President Karla welcomed everyone, introduced two new members, acknowledged
the refreshment committee, and asked for any old business.
Secretary/Treasurer Becky gave the financial report and estimated that
we have close to $1,600.00 in our account. Becky proposed that we make
use of a portion of this money by setting up a scholarship fund for
Club members. A short discussion followed and the following suggestions
were made:
-Use the allotted scholarship Fund for Clowning/Magic educational offerings.
-Form a committee to write up guidelines.
-Have recipients be responsible for bringing back information and a
presentation to the club.
President Karla opened the meeting for new business:
-Toni shared information about the up-coming Cairo Carnival in June,
and handed out flyers.
-John reported that the HMO swap meet had many more vendors than buyers
and perhaps next year our club could plan to support the event and plan
to attend.
-The ACE convention is coming up on May 9th-10th.
-Candy shared information on COAI and the Junior Joey Committee and
the Convention coming in April. It will be held in St. Louis this year.
Please contact her if you are interested.
-The meeting was adjourned at 7:35 p.m. and the group bought raffle
tickets, bought refreshments and visited.
The program began on time and Dan the Magic Man gave a very informative
lecture on
"Presenting Your Program"

COAI NEWS by Candy
WBy the time the next meeting
comes around I will be back from the COAI convention and board meeting
in St. Louis! I sure hope to come back with the news about the Junior
Joey program being in place for the next convention that will happen
in Corpus Christie, Texas. I have enjoyed being the newsletter editor
for the year and I'm sorry to say that I will be giving it up due to
other obligations I have, especially as the COAI Southwest VP and COAI's
Junior Joey committee member. If anyone has a computer and would like
to take on the task of the newsletter, please be prepared to let Funny
Business know at election time. Thanks again for all of your support,
both newsletter wise and COAI wise!
And if there is anyone going to the COAI convention, please let me know
and SEE YOU IN ST. LOUIS!
The SNACK list for the year:
| April: Paulette, Sherry and
Rich |
| May: Alma, Javier |
| June: Alice, Joe |

THE FUNNIES SECTION:
Easter Bunny
It was the night before Easter and the father
was in a hurry to get home, when suddenly a bunny rabbit leaped in front
of his car. He swerved too late and hit the poor rabbit. Stopping immediately,
the driver ran back to see if the bunny was okay. But it was too late.
It was the Easter bunny and it was dead. The man began to cry uncontrollably.
A lady driver saw him and stopped to see what the trouble was. Sobbing,
the man told her what happened and how bad he felt. The lady rushed
back to her car and returned with a spray can. She began to spray the
poor bunny with the contents of the can. To the man's amazement, the
Easter bunny was revived! He stood there speechless as the rabbit waved
at the man and the lady. The rabbit continued hopping on its way, still
waving at them. Further along, the rabbit turned and waved again. The
Easter bunny continued to wave until it was out of sight. The man was
overjoyed and relieved and finally able to speak. "What was that
you sprayed on the rabbit?" he asked. She showed him the label,
which read: HARE SPRAY - BRINGS HARE BACK TO LIFE - GOOD FOR PERMANENT
WAVE.
