Lakeside Chautauqua

June 20-26, 2015

Help Plan for Lakeside's Future

This summer, guests are invited to have Dessert with

Lakeside Chautauqua President/CEO Kevin Sibbring on
Mondays at 3:30 p.m. from June 22-August 3 in the Hotel Lakeside Fern Room. Please RSVP to advancement@lakesideohio.com with your name and email address.

The dessert reception is an opportunity for you to provide valuable input about Lakeside's future.

Lakeside has been blessed with a clear vision and strong leadership over the last 142 years.

Established in 1873, Lakeside immediately drew thousands of people to the shores of Lake Erie each summer who were seeking spiritual and cultural rejuvenation.

The first seats and stands in Central Park emerged, the first permanent home was erected, and the first 300 feet of dock was built to welcome those who, for years, would arrive by steamers.

New Miniature Golf Course a 'Hole-in-One'

A dedication will be held for the Miniature
Golf Course at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 20 in Central Park, near the course.

The dedication will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a group picture. There will be a signup sheet at the event for those who would like to have the picture emailed to them. Refreshments will also be served.

The miniature golf course has long been a family tradition at Lakeside. The course, built in 1963 along Ohio's Most Beautiful Mile, has been enjoyed by Lakesiders of all ages for more than 50 years.

Since Memorial Day weekend, Lakesiders have had the chance to make memories on the newly renovated course.

The miniature golf course features six new challenges that were developed and created offsite over the winter.

Information Center Opens at Pavilion

This summer, the Lakeside Information Center opened at the Pavilion for guests.

It is located across from the North Coast
Kite Co., in the space formerly occupied by Lakeside Landing. Lakeside thanks Carol Yoakam for her many years of service at Lakeside Landing.

The Lakeside Board of Directors approved the information center as part of the Strategic Plan's third and fourth goals: To assure Lakeside is a safe, healthy and aesthetically-pleasing community; and to address 21st century guest expectations.

To ease congestion at the Lakeside Chautauqua Administration Ofﬁce, guests can easily access the
information center to ask questions about the Chautauqua program, make reservations for waterfront activities and ﬁnalize payment for boat rentals, including standup paddleboards, kayaks and Sunﬁsh sailboats.

Guests can also register for wooden boat rides, obtain ﬁshing licenses and regulations and sign up for sailing lessons.

Changes to Lakesider Delivery Schedule

This summer, the Lakesider newspaper delivery schedule will receive changes.

The changes being made to the newspaper will allow more youth to be involved on Fridays and Saturdays, and ensure that the children are safe while handing out the publication.

On Friday mornings, youth ages 10-15 are invited to
gather at the Legacy House to help bundle the newspapers and deliver stacks to locations in the Lakeside Business District.

Bundles and newspaper stacks will be assigned on a ﬁrst-come, ﬁrst-served basis. If interested in this delivery opportunity, report to the Legacy House at 9 a.m. Fridays during the summer, beginning June 19.

On Friday and Saturday evenings, children of all ages are invited to gather at Hoover Auditorium from 7:30-8 p.m. to hand out the Lakesider newspaper prior to the evening performances. If interested, please check in at Hoover Auditorium at 7:15 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, beginning June 19, to be assigned a location.

Upon completion of each of these delivery opportunities, children and youth will still receive their choice of a free Coffee & Cream soft serve ice cream coupon or miniature golf coupon.
