A community shaken by financial fraud
Nancy Fetzner, who served as the club’s treasurer from 2015 until her removal in 2026, was taken into custody on charges of scheme to defraud exceeding $50,000, a first-degree felony under Florida law.
Authorities say Fetzner created a separate bank account, deposited more than $44,000 of club cash and transferred nearly $102,000 from the organization’s primary account to fund a lifestyle that included Disney vacations, Las Vegas trips, tickets to sporting events, cruises and jewelry.
The scheme unraveled in late June 2023 when a volunteer reviewer uncovered irregular transactions totaling at least $8,000, prompting the club to launch an internal audit and turn the matter over to the sheriff’s office.
Club officials confirmed that Fetzner was removed from her position and that her husband attempted to mitigate the fallout by offering a $30,000 settlement check, though no restitution has yet been secured.
Investigators continue to pursue recovery of the missing funds and have not ruled out further legal action against any parties who may have benefited from the diverted money.
