Olympia's Clown Alley, the Red Nose Brigade is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the art of clowning through volunteer work and education. We currently have opportunities to apprentice with a clown and learn the deadly (funny) art of clown-fu. We will participate in approximately eleventy-twelve events this year including the Parades, Cotillions, Festivals, and Graduation Exercises.
It's March 2006. Five dollars will buy you a cup of fancy coffee and a biscotti. If you bring your own cup... If you correctly answer today's trivia question: which archipeligo contains the island Java whose name we now associate with all coffees?
