Klinko's Kolumn by Karla
Hi all you funny clowns!
First, I want to give a BIG THANK YOU! to Sherry, Tony, and Valerie
for doing such a great job on their make-up demonstrations at our
meeting last month. It was very educational and fun to see each of
the different clown faces come alive before our eyes.. We very much
appreciate them sharing with us and for being so giving of their talents.
I look forward to our next meeting as we will be creating festive
balloons for the holidays. Andrew, with All American Balloons, will
continue showing us new products and it would be fun for everyone
to bring an easy balloon idea for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas
that we all can learn how to make. Bring your balloons and pumps!
Our thanks go out to Carmen and John for bringing the delicious chicken!
Yum! Yum!
I look forward to seeing everyone of you at our next meeting!

FROM THE PICKLE JAR AND MINUTES
Meeting called to order at
7:10 by Karla. The Treasurer's report was read. Old Business: There
was much discussion about becoming a COAI Alley but the pros and cons
were not clear so Candy will be putting it on paper to be handed out
at the October meeting. New Business: 1.Susan Nelson is again working
at Knotts Berry Farm for Halloween Haunt and has discount tickets available
for certain days. Contact her for available dates and prices. 2. WRCA
Convention - Nov. 10-14 in Laughlin. Carson Clowns are again chartering
a bus. For $200 you can get a package which includes transportation,
meals and room (dbl occupancy). 3. We voted to not have a meeting in
November due to the fact that so many of our members would be in Laughlin
for the convention.
