THE FUNNIES

From the Pickle Jar by Becky

Hear Ye! Hear Ye all ye face painters and wannabes! The February Edition of Funny Business is all about Face Painting! The room will be divided up into small work groups which will rotate midway through the evening so you can catch ideas from more than one teacher. Our instructors for the night will be Valerie Slater, Linda Hulet and Candy Will. (Miss Giggles, Shylo, and Butterscotch respectively) Bring a few face paints and brushes (not your WHOLE set-up) or if you prefer, pen and paper to jot down ideas and pictures. Keep it Simple. It should be a fun and very interactive night!

Upcoming Event: "Pass It On" Lay Ministries Training Conference Feb. 21 & 22
This conference is for anyone interested in learning about using puppetry, illusion, clowning, mime and storytelling for ministry. Brochures will be available at the meeting.

COAI NEWS by Candy

Is there any COAI member who would like to go to St. Louis this year but can't afford it? Well if you get online or look in your Calliope Magazine, you will find availability to a scholarship fund from COAI. Hurry though, the deadline is March 1st. You can download the form from the website at: www.COAI.org. I will bring some copies of the application with me to the next meeting too. Also, I attended "The Happening" put on by the Golden Gate Clowns in San Jose last month and I have to say that it was quite a nice surprise for a two day workshop. I believe that if they put it on again in the future that I would go again, the teachers were great and the classes were excellent for the First of Mays to the well experienced clown. (Besides, the quilt I won at the raffle made it WELL worth the trip!).
