At circus 2003, this kid shows up in a shirt he made with pictures from this website... pretty cool, huh? If you're going to do it again, kid, make one for me. Thanks, Speedy.

Thinking about joining the clowns?
I believe with all of my heart, that no Unit in Shrinedom can do more for membership faster than we can. ALL of the Units are great in Shrinedom. ALL of the units can help enormously with membership. But CLOWNS DIRECTLY touch the hearts and lives of our kids. I think there is NO FASTER way to a man's heart than to see how he can help improve the life of a child. Clowns do that! Carl E. Jones, Topper the Magic Clown, HP&P, Hella, Dallas

Circus 2003 Photos by Julie Underdown

The Clown Prayer Dear Lord, help me to create more laughter than tears, dispense more happiness than gloom, spread more cheer than despair. Never let me grow so big that I will fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged. Never let me forget that I am a clown, that my work is to cheer people up, make them happy, and make them laugh, and make them forget momentarily all the unpleasant things in their lives.

I would just like to thank you for all your wonderful work that you have been doing. My daughter was badly burned this year and spent some time in Shriner's of Cincinnati. Your clowns came in and made her smile. It was one of the first genuine smiles she showed since her accident. I think all the work you do is marvelous and I just wanted to wish the Syrian Temple a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. With all our family's love and best wishes. The Bullimores.
