Lighthouse Trip
February 11, 2009
On November 7th a
large group of CCFC members went by bus on a South County History
Trip which included visiting:
Eufloria Flowers -
this has been a premier grower of varietal roses for over seven
generations. Their flowers are of rare quality and
performance, and are consistently recognized as the most beautiful
roses throughout the industry,
The Lopez Lake Water Treatment Plant - Lopez lake's purpose is to
provide
drinking water for Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach,
Oceano and Avila Beach. It also provides
groundwater recharge, water for
irrigation and
flood control. Unlike most municipal water supplies, human
contact with the water is permitted.
Sailing,
water skiing,
swimming,
fishing and
camping are popular activities. There is also a
waterslide next to the lake. To prevent contamination of the
drinking water, water from the lake is piped three miles (5 km) to a
terminal reservoir, where it remains to allow particles to settle
out and
pathogens to die off. The water then goes through
flocculation,
filtration and
chlorination at the Lopez Water Treatment Plant,
And lunch at Jocko's Steakhouse - the wait is sometimes two hours or
longer on weekends; but the dining experience is well worth it. Once
an Old West saloon in the late-19th century, the popular eatery in
the quaint town of Nipomo is now a raucous, high-energy haven for
lovers of good steak, especially those cooked Santa Maria-style over
a roaring, fragrant oak fire. Jocko's portions are famously large.
As always, a wonderful time was had by all, and we can't wait for
the next fun outing!

*Supporters'
Luncheon/Open Meeting
In early spring, CCFC Active, Supportive, Trustee and
Provisional Members and invited guests attend a luncheon and fashion show,
often held at San Luis Obispo Country Club.
We have the pleasure of hearing from our grant recipient
organizations.
Each of the
agencies spokesperson share very interesting insights into how the CCFC
grant monies have benefited the children
involved in their program.
The afternoon ends with the awarding of raffle gifts to
the lucky winners.
This is a
favorite CCFC event…..it is what gives meaning to all of our efforts.
