Presenting the 2025 "Pets and Their People" calendar! We have some familiar faces from last year and some new friends joining us this year. It is an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you. I would like to extend a BIG thank you to our sponsors: McGaughey Health Group, The Nest, and three individuals who wish to remain anonymous. Their generosity has made it possible for 100% of the calendar sales to be donated to the non-profit Friends of Atascadero Lake, supporting the amazing work they do for our community.

We would like to take a moment to thank all of you who have given your time and donations throughout 2017. Initiating and completing a state of the art aeration system has kept our lake free of algae and oxygenated the water creating better water quality. Fish and wildlife have returned for everyone's enjoyment. We could not have accomplished this without your ongoing support.
2017 ORGANIZATION OF THE YEAR: Friends of Atascadero Lake
