Our outbound Exchange student was assigned
to Brazil. She’s selling tamales for $20 a dozen as a fundraiser for her
trip. Keith Crossley introduced our newest
Paul Harris Fellow Jim Zessa. He
contributed $4,000 to RI.
Our presenter
was John O’Connor. He works for Papa
& Barkley a manufacturer of hemp based products. P& B got its name from the founder’s father
who had terminal cancer. After trying
many ineffective salves, he mixed marijuana with coconut oil and came up with
an ointment that reduced pain and increased appetite. He lived another 4 years due to the ointment.
Barkley was his dog. The company has leased
the K-Mart building in Eureka and will have 200 employees. He also makes Epidiolex, a prescription
product that reduces seizures in epilepsy patients.
In case you’re hungry the lunch menu was tri-tip or ham
slices, mashed potatoes, salad bar and cake.
