In 1960 Steve Bender enrolled at Washington University. It was while he was a freshman that he began work as a clown for the U.S. Keds company. He did promotional shoe store openings as Kedso the Clown. The summer after his freshman year he began doing birthday parties. He did all of 9 shows in 1960. In 1964, when he graduated he and his wife to be, Ickle Pickle, were averaging 50 shows per month. For the next 11 years, they continued to earn their living soley by entertaining. In 1975, he began teaching magic and this lead to Ickle Pickle Products Inc., which is now in its 26Th year. The Catalog went from a one page mimeographed sheet to a 2-part, 1500 plus item, Catalog. When Steve began manufacturing he also began lecturing, which he's now been doing for 30 years. For 41 years, Steve Bender, alias Mr. Pickle, has been performing, manufacturing, writing columns of COAI and World Clown, and lecturing. He's likes his audience to have a good time, learn and laugh. We where meeting in Riverside but the room available wouldn’t hold over 30 people so we asked the manager of HMO meeting place if we could have our monthly meeting place and they graciously said yes so the lecture will be held in Grand Terrace, California so we would have enough room to accommodate all Funny Business and HMO members which is sharing in the cost also anyone else that wants to join us.

Ickle Pickle Lecture Location: Community Center/Lions Club 22150 BARTON ROAD, Grand Terrace Ca 92313

New Location We are growing be leaps and bonds and I have been getting phone calls from former members that they heard through the grape vine that we at funny business have it going on. So we are looking a t more members joining and our location we have now is not going to accommodate to many more people so We are asking for members who live in the area of where we meet to help look for a new location. It most have good lighting and wheel chair accessible and close to the freeway . Please call me or email me with locations .

COAI by Candy

 

Well it’s that time again; I will be heading out to the Clowns of America International convention in Richmond Virginia!  If anyone would like me to represent them with any concerns, or comments, please email me at: butterscotchtheclown@cox.net  and I will present it to the board. 

It should be fun; I just might take a ride in the pace car, if I get a chance to get away from teaching the juniors for a little bit.   If anyone is attending, please let me know, I would really like to meet up with you there!  More about the convention when I get back. 

Happy Spring Clowning to all of you!

Red Nose Response Logo

WITH MORE & MORE DISASTERS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD, RED NOSE RESPONSE IS NEEDED MORE THAN EVER.

The American Red Cross is now giving classes to receive certification in shelter work.  There then is a new list for these people to receive the “LANYARD Certification card”.  These cards will make it easier to be immediately approved to help out in shelters if you like to.  It is said that local Red Cross chapters in a person’s area is set up to do this.  I will be looking into this and will get back to you with the details.

As Red Nose Response (RNR) grows, they are getting many more new opportunities to become involved in and they are looking to start some important committees.  And if you have any ideas for helping in disasters, let me know and I will pass them on to “corporate” Red Nose Response.  I will keep you posted.
