> Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts on this issue. I have now > got some great ideas on how to handle this the next time. > Year ago I donated myself, a clown for an hour B. D party or picnic. I specified family event. I don't even remember what the event was I donated it to. (?) The winner called me a couple months later and wanted me for a family BD party the same day I was to be in a parade. I was concerned about having the energy but she said she had 9 grandchildren coming in from dif. states for 4th of July parade that passes right past her home and it was a special BD party for one for them. Well, that was the parade I was in so I was glad I would not have to travel far and since her grand children only gather together twice a year I felt I should do it, even if I was tired and hot. We arranged it so I have an hour break in between parried and party.
WWhen I went to the party these kids were so receptive and fun. As I was departing the grand mother thanked me immensely as the girl the party was for had cancer and the prognosis was not good. I had one very grateful grandmother as she was able to offer something different for her granddaughters party. And I was one veryy grateful clown to have been the clown that got to do that party.
