Member & Business Recognition
Honoring those whose contributions are made in many ways.
- Talent, time and effort are invaluable gifts. California Garden Clubs, Inc. greatly appreciates the contributions of individuals, businesses and groups who share our objectives and help support our goals, so CGCI has developed many different methods to say “Thank You”, “Well Done!” and “We Appreciate Your Efforts”. The tabs below provide descriptions and links to application/request forms.
- If you find that CGCI is missing a good way to thank someone, please let us know.
NOTE:
