PRESIDENT'S REPORT: Hello Everyone! Thanks to all that participated at our last meeting it was lot of fun. A shout out goes to Sue, Paul, Jim, Eric, and Pam for bringing things in to share. For those that did not attend the meeting we had song, dance and game night. Sue had shared a fact sheet quiz, which was really interesting how many most of us got right. I will have copies of that at the next meeting for those that would like a copy. Paul had us up and playing different instruments. Jim had us up with all sorts of different games one of them was sorta like musical chairs but instead we danced and had to get into different pairs depending of the number he chose those if we did not match up in number we were out. He also brought along some games. Eric demonstrated how he juggles and has three children help him by passing the balls back to him which brought a lot of laughs since those of us that were chosen to help couldn't throw a ball back to him to save our lives. Pam brought in some dance tapes she uses to get the kids up and out of their seats to get some of their energy out before she performs. I brought in my clown pants and we had a relay race on who could fill the pants the fastest. I think we all left with a few new ideas and a lot of laughs. Next month we will be doing scrapbooks. Please bring in some of your clown pictures or entertainment pictures or any pictures for that matter that you would like to decorate. We hope to have someone in that does this as a living to help us out in putting together some sheets that can be put into our own photo albums. If we are not able to get the women we will still plan on doing this Pam will be getting together the materials to help us and she will bring in a scrapbook that she has started to give us some ideas. Remember it doesn't have to be your clown it can be pictures of your kids, grandchildren, pets or yourself as and entertainer. If anyone has any suggestions for some of the entertainment we might use at the meetings please feel free to let me know or any of the officers. We will be having an officers meeting soon so please give them your feed back so that we may plan a fun full year. We will be looking into entertainment at the Family Alley picnic at Sue house this summer. We will also need help with some alley events that are coming up. Kids fest May 6th please contact Janet Wills, Bridge family fundraiser May 20th   contact Pam, Toys for tots August contact Sue Please help out in anyway you can and let the contact person (boss clown) know as soon as possible what you might be able to do. I think I have covered everything. Until we meet again.

Till then take care
