I\u2019m taking this time to drop everybody a note and bring you all up to date on some new and exciting changes and additions to our programs coming to GMCWS. We\u2019ve all been working on our membership drive so I\u2019ve been calling and chatting with our membership, I thank you all for your support and suggestions. For our spring rally we want to have all registrations and payments to take place on line, we will still produce a paper registration on our web-site for your convenience and information there will be more info when we post the registration, but for now keep April 7 thru April 11th<\/sup> on your calendar for the Spring Rally. I\u2019m going to post some ideas for you while you\u2019re in Palm Springs that thru the year\u2019s we have enjoyed sort of like a travel log from an old tour guide, so here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shields Date Garden, the farm has been in operation since 1924, I found the sex life of a date fascinating, I also love the groves, gardens, and the ducks by the lake very scenic, if you\u2019ve never had a date shake now is the time. Dates are very healthy and full of potassium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden is a place of artsy peace-the unexpected oasis off hyw 111 is accented with water features and beautiful walkways. If you haven\u2019t figured it out Palm Springs is located on several natural springs many considered spiritual by the Indian tribes who inhabited the area and still own the land along with the gambling casinos that dot the area if you\u2019d like to try your luck. An Indian family went to dinner in town at one of the many fine restaurants and the hostess asked him if he had a reservation and he replied I\u2019m standing on it. Moving along I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m being polically correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moorten Botanical Garden, the garden dates back to 1939.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, you will see breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Mountains and pristine wilderness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, this may be your chance of seeing a Bighorn Sheep as well as Wallabies, Kookaburras which I\u2019m pretty sure you didn\u2019t see on the drive to Emerald Dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rainmaker, located in Francis Stevens Park, it is a 30foot tall stainless steel Rainmaker Schulpture. The fountain was born out of a degree from then mayor Sonny Bono<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City of Coachella Walking Tour, visit historic downtown with murals by local artist\u2019s, walk over to the Coachella History Museum in a 1909 schoolhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m getting thirsty how about an iced pistachio Rose Latte at Ernest coffee located in the historic Palm Springs tiki haven. Don the Beachcomber uses house made pistachio orgeat syrup. Very yummie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well as you can tell I\u2019d rather write than make calls for membership dues so how about it send money for your dues and join us on some great adventures if you can\u2019t make it to Palm Springs maybe you can join us in Pismo Beach for our fall rally, I can think of all kinds of fun things there to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
