Event Description: Why don’t those medicines work? Understanding Chronic Pain with Andrea Rubinstein, MD, chief, department of Pain Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, Santa Rosa
Chronic pain is common and millions of people suffer from it. But chronic pain is not just pain that lasts a long time. For a long time we treated chronic pain with the same drugs we used to treat all other pain and yet patients did not get the relief they sought. Far too many people were given drugs such as opioids that actually make pain worse over time. This talk will focus on why chronic pain is different and the risks of treating it like acute pain primarily with opioids. We will also discuss what does work and how to get better.

The event has grown each year, and features the highly-anticipated and locally famous “$1,000 Deal or No Deal” game and Live and Silent Auction Spectacular.
This year’s beneficiary is the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Desert. Their mission is “to inspire and enable all young people of the community, especially those who need us the most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens”. Children between the ages of 5-18 receive individual attention with homework, fitness and life skills programs. No child is ever turned away due to an inability to pay – every child has the potential to BE GREAT! Because the Club receives the bulk of its funding support from local contributors, the Dessert Soiree will bring a much-needed financial boost to the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Desert.
The Dessert Soiree has a history of being a very popular and fun event. The evening starts with a fabulous selection of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, fruit and cheese platters and, of course, decadent desserts and champagne. Other beverages are also available at a “no host” bar. The evening continues with a Silent Auction and a special “Wine & Orchid” auction where $200 in cash can be won. The Live Auction will be conducted by Dan Letourneau, who will auction some great items, such as a Holland America cruise for two to either Mexico, Alaska, the Caribbean, or New England/Canada and a “staycation” package for a close-to-home getaway. In the Sunset Rotary Club’s version of the “Deal or No Deal” game, Chris Gubler, Club President, will auction off sponsored briefcases containing money and gifts. Depending on his/her choices, one lucky audience member could win $1,000! The entire audience is involved in this exciting game!

Wonder Valley Community Center 80526-½ Amboy Road (next to the Fire Station) Wonder Valley CA 92277
Lanny Swerdlow, RN LNC, who presented to the Community of Wonder Valley last year on Medical Marijuana, is back this year for a followup.
Like the San Andreas Fault, the cannabis paradigm has shifted. Cannabis legalization has a taken firm hold in California with farmers cultivating, companies manufacturing, and dispensaries opening in locations throughout the state for all persons 21 years or older. What this all means to you will be explained at 4:20 p.m., on Saturday, April 21, at the Wonder Valley Community Center, by Inland Empire cannabis law reform activist Lanny Swerdlow, RN LNC.
With a brief look back at the evolution of California’s cannabis laws, Mr. Swerdlow will provide an informative and entertaining presentation on the implementation of Prop. 64 as it affects the individual consumer and those who want to jump into this burgeoning industry. He will undertake an examination of Prop. 64’s commercial business provisions including the microbusiness license that may be of interest to people in the area.
He will also explain driving laws, laws regarding personal cultivation, the advantages of having a doctor’s recommendation, and what is happening or should be happening but isn’t in San Bernardino county. How much California will be affected by the Trump Administration, and what is happening on the federal level will be discussed. Swerdlow will conclude the presentation with the latest information on health issues, including using cannabis for insomnia, depression and the opioid crisis.
The 420+1 Celebration will also feature a special birthday tribute honoring Yippie living legend, political satirist, cannabis advocate, “Desert Pot Springs” resident Paul Krassner, author of countless pro-pot articles and books including “Pot Stories for the Soul.”
Refreshments will be served. There is no charge for admission but donations will be accepted to cover the cost of our speaker’s travel from the Inland Empire.

Volunteers will set up a variety of kinds and sizes of telescopes on the winding sidewalks, and guests are welcome to use them or may bring their own binoculars and scopes as well.
The first quarter Moon will be near the constellation Gemini in early in the evening. The first quarter phase is one of most beautiful times to view details on the Lunar surface.
Many interesting features of the Lunar landscape come to life through a telescope. Hundreds of craters, valleys, and mountain ranges look quite dramatic with the shadows created by the Lunar terminator.
Prominent constellations are Gemini (the Twins), Leo (the Lion), Ursa Major (the Great Bear), Virgo (the Maiden), Hydra (the Water Snake), and Boötes (the Herdsman).
The presentation is very casual, so come at any time and leave when you wish. Bring a red flashlight to preserve night vision. Dress for unpredictable desert weather and bring snacks, water bottles, and chairs.
There are no overnight stays and NO CAMPING anywhere on the Observatory and Nature Center property. No pets, no smoking or alcohol allowed, and visitors must carry out all trash. Adults must accompany and take responsibility for the safety and behavior of children under 16.

Wonder Valley Community Center 80526-½ Amboy Road (next to the Fire Station) Wonder Valley CA 92277
Lanny Swerdlow, RN LNC, who presented to the Community of Wonder Valley last year on Medical Marijuana, is back this year for a followup.
Like the San Andreas Fault, the cannabis paradigm has shifted. Cannabis legalization has a taken firm hold in California with farmers cultivating, companies manufacturing, and dispensaries opening in locations throughout the state for all persons 21 years or older. What this all means to you will be explained at 4:20 p.m., on Saturday, April 21, at the Wonder Valley Community Center, by Inland Empire cannabis law reform activist Lanny Swerdlow, RN LNC.
With a brief look back at the evolution of California’s cannabis laws, Mr. Swerdlow will provide an informative and entertaining presentation on the implementation of Prop. 64 as it affects the individual consumer and those who want to jump into this burgeoning industry. He will undertake an examination of Prop. 64’s commercial business provisions including the microbusiness license that may be of interest to people in the area.
He will also explain driving laws, laws regarding personal cultivation, the advantages of having a doctor’s recommendation, and what is happening or should be happening but isn’t in San Bernardino county. How much California will be affected by the Trump Administration, and what is happening on the federal level will be discussed. Swerdlow will conclude the presentation with the latest information on health issues, including using cannabis for insomnia, depression and the opioid crisis.
The 420+1 Celebration will also feature a special birthday tribute honoring Yippie living legend, political satirist, cannabis advocate, “Desert Pot Springs” resident Paul Krassner, author of countless pro-pot articles and books including “Pot Stories for the Soul.”
Refreshments will be served. There is no charge for admission but donations will be accepted to cover the cost of our speaker’s travel from the Inland Empire.
Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center invites stargazers to enjoy the desert night sky on Saturday, April 21. This free public event begins at 8:00 pm and will last approximately three hours. The Observatory is at 9697 Utah Trail in Twentynine Palms, just outside the main (north) entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.
Volunteers will set up a variety of kinds and sizes of telescopes on the winding sidewalks, and guests are welcome to use them or may bring their own binoculars and scopes as well.
The first quarter Moon will be near the constellation Gemini in early in the evening. The first quarter phase is one of most beautiful times to view details on the Lunar surface.
Many interesting features of the Lunar landscape come to life through a telescope. Hundreds of craters, valleys, and mountain ranges look quite dramatic with the shadows created by the Lunar terminator.
Prominent constellations are Gemini (the Twins), Leo (the Lion), Ursa Major (the Great Bear), Virgo (the Maiden), Hydra (the Water Snake), and Boötes (the Herdsman).
The presentation is very casual, so come at any time and leave when you wish. Bring a red flashlight to preserve night vision. Dress for unpredictable desert weather and bring snacks, water bottles, and chairs.
There are no overnight stays and NO CAMPING anywhere on the Observatory and Nature Center property. No pets, no smoking or alcohol allowed, and visitors must carry out all trash. Adults must accompany and take responsibility for the safety and behavior of children under 16.
The seasonal sky is very unpredictable, and a viewing event may have to be delayed, rescheduled, or cancelled due to cloudiness, rain, or excessive wind. Check @skysthelmit29 or follow @STL29Palms to learn the latest status of an event or call Ray at 760-365-7897.
