Greetings from the Prez Box
Hello again. It's that time
once again, for our Funny Business monthly meeting. What are we doing
this month you ask? What could we possibly do to continue the excitement
and energy of our last month's guest lecturer, you ask? Well, hold
onto your hats and button down your noses and strap in your suspenders.
It's the one and only Linda "PJ" Hulet. Linda is one of
the greatest clowns within our industry. She has traveled all over
the world (in one character or another) performing and speaking and
teaching for kids of all ages. She has performed for over a thousand
people within one day. Companies large and small have sought her to
perform and entertain their guests for their special functions. If
you need and want to learn, how to develop your clown character and
get help with your clown costume. You do not want to miss this opportunity
to learn from a veteran and well-seasoned clown. Seasoned with laughter,
imagination, smiles, happiness and lots of color. That's what makes
Linda a very special character and great clown. Don't miss this lecture,
invite other clowns. See ya all there.

Coming This Month
Linda Hulet, Clown of Many Faces
Linda is one of the finest, funniest female
clowns in America. In the Entertainment World Linda is known as the
clown with many faces. What does that mean? It means that Linda draws
on her repertory of characters, costumes, and props to provide entertainment
in various environments. Linda has taught others the performing art
of clowning in such locations as the Western United States, Wisconsin,
New York, and New Jersey. She is an expert at specialty routines and
portraying multiple characters and is a wonderful strolling, walk-around,
and stage-performing clown. She has performed from living rooms, stages,
convention centers, and circus arenas. Her clowning antics have been
seen internationally in such exotic locales as Russia, Taiwan, Japan,
Korea, and Singapore. In the United States, she toured New York and
it’s immediate states with the Yankee Doodle Circus. She prides
herself on her comedy strolling at fairs, festivals, and amusement parks.
Walk around entertainment is second nature to her clown characters and
is one of Linda’s strong points. She loves performing as her one-woman-band
and with the various animal characters that she rides. Two of her favorites
include a funny camel that spits water and winks and an elephant that
squirts water, while wiggling her ears. Quick parody comebacks abound
as she moves through crowds bringing laughs to all the individuals she
meets. Her happiness comes from seeing the joy in others.
Be sure to bring your costume including
shoes etc. so Linda can give you suggestions.

Bio of the Month by John Acuna
Cuddles the clown started back in 1997.
When a friend of mine asked me to be a clown at a little girl's birthday
party I said "yes". I was always joking around at the beauty
salon where I worked. I went home that evening and looked in the phone
book and called Charm and Happy the clowns. I explained to Charm what
I wanted to do and asked her a million questions. I really had fun doing
the party.
Cuddles the clown has appeared on Channel 2 News and for the Ringling
Brothers audition in Anaheim. I also appeared in costume on the television
show Blind Date. Potsy and Blimpo told me about Funny Business and I
started going to the meetings. I belong to HMO, Classic Clowns and am
Vice President for Funny Business.

Food will be brought by Adrianna, one of
our newest members. She has received so much that she wants to give
back to the club which has given so much to her. Also I understand her
husband cooks great Mexican food. (Bring a big appetite.) Thanks Adrianna.
