| 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.
