[align=left] Humorist and acclaimed satirist Paul Krassner presents his famed iconoclastic take on just about everything. His comedic talents have influenced comedians across the board from Lewis Black who wrote “Paul Krassner is an activist, a philosopher, a lunatic and a saint, but most of all he is funny” to George Carlin describing Krassner as “Funnier than Danny Kaye, more powerful than Jerry Lewis, as important as acid.”

Following the presentations, the Community Service Award Ceremony and presentations to Dennis Peron, Anna Boyce and Paul Stanford will take place. A lump in everyone’s throat is guaranteed.
The seminar and Green Goddess movie preview are free. The Awards Dinner and Ceremony are $20 advance and $25 day of the event. Seating is limited for the Awards Ceremony, so advanced ticket purchase is advised. Tickets may be purchased by going to www.marijuananews.org, by calling 951-782-9898 or they may be bought in person at Presto Quality Care, 647 Main St., Riverside CA 92501 where the event is being held.

[align=left] There are so few major events like this in the Inland Empire where patients, supporters and community members can come together to honor those whose pioneering and often dangerous work have brought us to where we stand today – on the threshold of ending marijuana prohibition and making the world safe for cannabis once again.[/align]

I look forward to celebrating with you and many others on Saturday, January 19 at Presto Quality Care, 647 Main St., Riverside 92501.

BTW – we need four volunteers to work the seminar and dinner. This is an all-day, all-evening shift from 12:30 p.m. to whenever it is over. You will be doing things like greeting people, having them sign in, selling tickets for the dinner, helping set up the for the dinner, assisting Dennis Peron and Paul Krassner with book sales, clean up and so on. You will not have to pay for the ceremony and dinner but you will work for it. If you would like to volunteer, please send me an email and I will get back to you promptly. Thank you in advance for your help and assistance with what is one of the most significant medical marijuana events ever held in the Inland Empire.
