Grab a stone from the beach and put it in your hand. Think about the lake on a calm morning. When you toss the stone in the lake a beautiful ripple will spread out forever. This is exactly what happens when you give through the Okoboji Foundation. Your gift goes on forever, touching all shores of the Iowa Great Lakes.
