We’d like to extend our deepest gratitude to our amazing community, for coming out and supporting our FOCI fundraiser for Love the Lakes and for supporting the Cortes film premiere of How the Change the World.

It was a wonderful success, with a capacity turn out. Thank you in particular goes out to Max Thaysen for his passionate introduction of lake issues, to Rex Weyler for sharing his inspiring thoughts and presenting a deeply thought-provoking film, to Sujon for her beautiful food, to FOCI board members and volunteers who helped make the evening run smoothly, and to the many wonderful, generous community members who donated to our silent auction and raffle. The tables were filled with abundant beauty from our many artisans and skilled service people and we are so filled appreciation.

This moment serves as a launch for this on-going important issue of Lake Health and Restoration. Please remember all donations to this project go directly towards helping lake stewardship go forward and future donations are welcomed. You can donate online here
