Clowns of America International
The purpose of Clowns of
America International (COAI) is to share, educate,
and act as a gathering place for serious minded
amateurs, semiprofessionals, and professional
clowns. COAI provides its membership with a variety
of techniques and informational opportunities. It is
through this exposure that clowns are provided the
necessary resources that allow them to further
define and improve their individual character. Don
and Dingbat have been members for over 15 years.
