Save Mount Diablo will host its eighth annual “Moonlight on the Mountain” on Saturday, September 5, 2009. This special, one-of-a-kind event for 500 guests includes drinks and hors d’oeuvres, silent and live auction, elegant sit-down dinner, and live music.

“Moonlight on the Mountain” takes place outdoors on a flat plateau next to the dramatic rock formations of China Wall, with a spectacular view of undeveloped rolling hills and the summit of Mount Diablo—all under the light of the rising moon.

The event also includes a presentation of the “Mountain Star” awards to individuals and organizations who have been significant in preserving, interpreting and restoring Mount Diablo.  Last year's winners were Dorothy Wright (Landowner Award), Harry Silcocks & The East Bay Trail Dogs (Trail Blazer Award), Jeanne Thomas (Cornerstone Award).

The elegant sit-down dinner is catered by Sunrise Bistro & Catering. For ticket information call (925) 947-3535
