The woman at the front desk was friendly and enlisted other administrative staff in finding a contact who can help me. She gave me the contact email. I returned several days later with my member application and fee and it was left with the appropriate person. I saw that the staff's interactions with the students was very positive. The school is well kept and curriculum is top notch. Past teachers and alumni are very involved with the future of the school and the quality of graduates it produces. After all, these are our future leaders that will run the country one day!

Local Mobile Vaccine Clinic Site Review: Just the other week, this School joined a few dozen…read moreothers in our county in allowing us to set up a one day Mobile Vaccine Clinic in this underserved area, which is quite a long drive from the City of Paso Robles itself. It is in a quiet, rather remote area, right next to Lake Nacimiento. Lake Nacimiento as of recently only had about 15% of its capacity, so I did not check it out on this trip. While I knew about the lake, I had no idea about this quiet community of a few thousand, let alone a school, and a small shopping center just across the street that has a large supermarket [Oak Hills]. In any case, we arrived shortly before the young kiddos left school and people interested in getting vaccinated started to arrive. We set up right outside the entrance and things went really well. Quite a few people did have special needs or lacked transport to Paso itself, since there was no pharmacy in this town. The school staff that we interacted with were quite nice and it was great that they thought of helping their community with this effort. After finishing up, I did drive just across the street to check out the mini-mall and supermarket. Maybe next time I am in town I will check out the Lake itself, but we typically run late so that we can offer people services after work hours, so at this time of year, it starts to get dark early. One of the interesting aspects of being a Medical Reserve Corp volunteer doing Mobile Clinics is that we literately go almost everywhere in this huge county and meet all kinds of interesting people. Of course, the absolute best thing, is that we are saving lives and preventing suffering & disease. Again, if it was not for places like this quiet school, many people who cannot get to relatively few Pharmacies nor the few Public Health Clinics with the full range of vaccines [or any vaccines at all], would continue to go unserved and unvaccinated. We also have the time, knowledge, experience, and patience to help people understand why vaccines are safe & effective, while also dealing with people's fears & needlephobia. Thanks to Cappy Culver we helped people in this out of the way community.
