	Maximize Your Potential at CMG2002

The Great Tea is planned for Monday afternoon and provides an opportunity to meet and greet guest and spouses of CMG attendees. We will introduce a tour specialist who will answer any questions you have about Reno and the surrounding area. Then we will discuss the tours we are offering this year. Refreshments are served at our "Tea" and children are most welcome.

Our tour to Lake Tahoe will take you through Washoe Valley ad Carson City, The State capital and up Spooner Highway to Zephyr Cove beach to board The M.S. Dixie II Paddlewheeler. You will enjoy the beautiful Sierra mountains as you cruise Lake Tahoe, which is one of North America's largest Alpine Lakes. The cruise will take you to beautiful Emerald bay, one of the most photographed spots in the world. A delightful lunch will be served while you learn of the Lake's formation and its inhabitants while cruising by Vikingsholm Castle and Fannette Island on this fully narrated cruise.

This tour starts with a beautiful drive through Washoe valley into the state Capital, Carson City. Here your guide will point out the historic mansions and other interesting sites. You will tour the Nevada State Museum, which served as a U.S. Mint where over $49 million dollars of gold and silver was coined up until 1893. Considered one of the finest smaller museums in the West, the museum offers a rendition of a working mine along with other excellent historical exhibits. After Carson City, it's off to Virginia City!

Established in 1859, Virginia City became the richest mining town in the world. San Francisco was built from the mines of the Comstock and the Civil war was partially financed from the gold and silver discovered beneath the city.

Lunch will be included at the famous Delta Saloon. The Delta bears Virginia City's oldest business name, dating back more than 100 years to 1862. here you can also view the suicide table, so called after three owners committed suicide due to crashing house losses incurred while gambling.

Today's Virginia City is remarkably the same as it was during its heyday with wooden sidewalks, restored mansions, mine tours, "Old West" saloons and the Piper Opera House. Mark Twain began his illustrious writing career at Virginia City's own "Territorial Enterprise." Your guests can visit this, as well as numerous other museums, shops, mansions and churches in this richly historic town.

Visit several studios of the VERY talented local artists in the Reno area. Talents include wearable art, original jewelry, photography, weaving, public space sculpture artist, painters, print makers, textile design, watercolor, and portrait painting, potters, basketry calligraphy and more. You will be taken directly to the personal studios of selected artists where they will demonstrate their art and answer questions.

Come and join all your fellow runners, joggers, and walkers for a competitive run or a leisurely stroll along the beautiful Truckee River. This river is located on the eastern boundaries of the Reno Hilton and has a paved "walking" trail that we will use for our Run. Race officials will mark, officiate and score the race. Fresh fruit, juices and water will be provided for all.
