I was cleaning the top of my chest of drawers the other day and came across this souvenir of San Luis Obispos. It is the wrapper for a chocolate bar that the hotel provided each guest as we checked in. That is a nice gesture sort of like the warm chocolate chip cookies that the Doubletree Inn in Sacramento hands out. But what I found most charming was that this was a local product, produced by the students at Cal Poly SLO. It brought back memories of other students' efforts that we have appreciated at other colleges and universities. Back at BYU we were regular customers of the dairy products that were an integral part of their agricultural program. Of course the plays, instrument and choral performances are entertaining as well as educational. And there is even a high class reservations-only restaurant at American River College that we haven't taken advantage of yet. But the menus we read during the breaks in our art class certainly were tempting. It's too bad more university level learning can't also be a direct benefit to the community.
