Today started the beginning of my 3 day Elks DAP Fremont, California tour. I presented three 45 minute presentations to students at Thornton Junior High School and Mission Valley Elementary School. We discussed the dangers associated with alcohol, marijuana and tobacco-vaping use and the impacts it has on our bodies and minds. Students were able to demonstrate the “fatal vision” goggles and walk the line among their peers. I brought my humor and knowledge to the stage in the hope that these students will carry the message to their peers. Then this evening I conducted a 60 minute community training presentation were we discussed addiction and how to talk to adolescents about substance use but don’t know how to get started. This training was designed for parents, counselors, teachers church members, family members, Elks members and whomever feels they need help. This tour was sponsored by the Elks Association State Drug Awareness Program (DAP).
Thanks for having us!
