After the conclusion of my "official visit" to Diablo Foothills District Meeting, five of us went on a mission triggered by CGCI's The Diamond Years. The goal was to see if there was a placque commemorating CGCI's contribution to the Mr. Diablo State Park Interpretive Center. CGCI assisted in raising funds for constructing interpretive exhibits in the Summit Building of Mt. Diablo State Park between 1987 and 1993, raising over $5,000. A beautiful diorama depicts mountain scenes including shrubs, trees, flora and fauna that inhabit Mt. Diablo. It was dedicated October 6, 1993 concluding the project.
Mark your calendars for April 12-20, 2012 for CGCI's Floriade Cruise hosted by Bob Gordon aboard AmaVerde that pampers only 161 guests in custom-designed luxury. Staterooms and suites range from 170-350 square feet, some with balconies. Casual dress onboard - a great opportunity to explore this once every 10 years opportunity - Floriade!
