Honoring Mary Davey

CGF is honored to host a spectacular afternoon with friends, family, and pure celebration at the lovely home of longtime CGF members,
Nan and Chuck Geschke, in Los Altos. 

The gathering will center on the enduring nature of CGF's advocacy work -past, present, and future- by honoring former Congressman Pete McCloskey, paying tribute to CGF's Advocates through time, and looking to emerging plans for the next generation of CGF Advocacy. 

Pete McCloskey was CGF's first lawyer, fighting against power lines obstructing the viewshed of the foothills.  This early action and Pete's continuous leadership have provided inspiration to CGF over the years and continue to influence the evolving nature of CGF's advocacy work.
