Up In Smoke!

Guest speaker last Friday was Mike Velthoen, managing partner of Ferguson Case Orr Paterson law firm in Ventura, who masterfully delivered an informative discussion regarding medical marijuana issues in the workplace. "Cloudy" is the best word to describe the legal decisions regarding employer versus employee when it comes to drug use, positive tests and medical marijuana clearance. Mike also maintains a diverse practice in all aspects of business litigation, with an emphasis on trade secret disputes, intellectual property and employment law. Thanks to Mike for a great presentation! Speaking of drug use, one of Mike's biggest fan in the audience was some delusional guy wearing a "Giants" baseball shirt. This member (who purportedly claims to be our Club President) tried to persuade RCWLVS members to root for "his" team in the World Series by singing songs with the words "San Francisco" in it and waving his "swinging" watch in front of the eyes of fellow Rotarians! This type of behavior cannot be tolerated and more careful screening of those that join us for breakfast must be implemented!
