Charlie's Chaplains' Mid-Year Gathering

Charlie's Chaplains held a Mid-Year Gathering today, offering specialized training in areas team members indicated particular interest to focus on this session: Improv/Situational Comedy; Juggling; and Clown Magic.

Three of our talented members presented these segments: Steve "Java Joe Kool" Mourglea, Christian "Peppy" Ingle, and Magic's Royal Duke Sammy Cortino.

Part of the scheduled ongoing training program, the Mid-Year Gathering is for FRMC active Charlie's Chaplains to continue their study of creative arts, encourage learning new skills, and to fine-tune their performances. Continuing Clown Ed is a cornerstone of FRMC Charlie's Chaplains Hospital Clown Creative Ministry program.
