Hope you're off to a great week! We have club news and district news, so settle in. For anyone who missed it, last Friday we had Mr. Michael A. Keuler, DEA Assistant Special Agent in charge for the Los Angeles Field Division come to the club.
It was a terrific presentation on how the DEA operates and also what their biggest challenge is these days - synthetic drugs. Massive amounts of deadly Fentanyl and Crystal Meth are wreaking havoc on this country. We learned that education and prevention are critical and the more you know, the safer you will be!
