RANGER Clowns and Entertainers were organized by Father Lou lasiello in preparation for our Team Spirit exercises last March. Since that time, the group has become one of RANGER 's most impor- tant outreach activities. During WESTPAC '87, RANGER Clowns entertained at every port-oFcall. In Singapore they were invited by the U.S. Ambas- sador's Office to entertain Vietnamese children at the United Nations Refugee Camp near the Malay- sian border. Pattaya Beach activities included en- tertaining twice at a large orphanage for 400 chil- dren. Hong Kong 's outreach activity was at the St. Christopher's Anglican Home for Children, where 275 were in attendance. During our last port-ofcall to Subic, RANGER Clowns played Santa Claus and distributed S1000 worth of clothes and toys contri- buted by the men of RANGER. There have been three articles written about their exploits in Navy Times and they've been featured on the television program Navy News ln Review. They will continue clowning around back in San Diego by visiting children 's hospitals, old age homes and other charities in the local area.
