The Friends of the Lake Circle recognizes individuals or households who annually designate $500 or more of their gift to the Lake Junaluska Annual Fund in support of preserving the lake, grounds and recreation areas.
Ensure the Lake Continues To Be a Beloved Place
A significant part of experiencing Lake Junaluska includes slowing down the hectic pace of everyday life and finding true connections with family, friends and faith. These experiences are made possible because of the support of people like you, the Friends of the Lake.
Through your gift to the Friends of the Lake, you ensure that Lake Junaluska continues to be a beloved place where the community can enjoy the walking trail, gardens and breathtaking vistas. For example, your funds enable our landscaping crew to plant more than 10,000 annuals and perennials across Lake Junaluska’s grounds, as well as maintain the walking trail.
