Show your love for Wood Lake on Nov. 3
Everyone is invited to come out and share their support for Wood Lake Nature Center at the 32nd annual Friends of Wood Lake Benefit Dinner. The event will be held on Friday, November 3 at the Minnesota Valley Country Club. A social hour and silent auction will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Enjoy a delicious dinner, engaging speaker and time spent with new and old friends. This year's speaker, Emily Hall, will draw from her extensive knowledge in nursing, energetic therapies and profound love of the outdoors to provide a fresh perspective on discovering our holistic selves through nature.
The funds raised at the event help offset the cost of Wood Lake Nature Center. The event and its efforts have played a critical role in Wood Lake’s success since 1990.
