Thank you to all the wonderful guests who joined us at Between the Antlers in Georgetown this past week for our last Forks, Knives, & Spoonbills of the 2024 season. Each course was delicious, and it was special to reconnect with longtime friends and also meet new folks who are excited about SCWF’s conservation mission. We will have more Forks, Knives, & Spoonbills conservation dinners in 2025, so please stay tuned if you would like to join us for one! We are grateful to our sponsors for helping us increase our impact for wildlife. Thank you to our presenting sponsor, The Litchfield Company | Lachicotte | Christie’s; our wine sponsor Theoleo; and SCWF Friend Sponsors, Clinch & Barbara Heyward and BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.
