Recommitting to its shared vision has allowed the Friends of Nobska Light to shine forward into the new year. Like so many others, Friends has felt the direct impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. âNavigating 2020 required us to restructure, adjust our budget, suspend tours at Nobska and maintain a safety plan,â Friends president Kathleen Walrath said. Friends of Nobska Light and its facilities committee developed a COVID-19 action plan for staff, board members, and volunteers to assure the safety of those engaged in its mission. Despite decreased operational costs, many board members assumed added responsibilities to maintain long-term commitment to "Nobska and her community."
