Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are deeply saddened to announce the closure of Friends of Nashotah, an organization that has been dedicated to the Lake Country Community for the last 25 years. After careful consideration, we have concluded that due to a combination of rising operational costs and declining interest we can no longer host the Annual Wild Game Dinner.

While this is a challenging moment, we want to celebrate the incredible impact we've made together. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, generosity, and belief in our mission.

Though our organization is closing, the spirit of our work will live on through the efforts of the amazing programs and services we have been able to support with your contributions.

We are grateful for the community's support and will now focus on responsibly dissolving the organization and ensuring any remaining funds are distributed according to our mission and legal obligations.

We encourage our benefactors to continue investing in our Lake Country Community’s programs and services, as it has been an honor for us to serve our community.

With Kindness,

Sandra Knoff and the Friends of Nashotah Board
