Lakeside Honors Volunteers |
Volunteers are essential to the quality of the Lakeside Chautauqua experience.
Lakeside will recognize and celebrate the service and commitment of volunteers at the Volunteer Recognition Picnic, held from 12-1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8 on the Hotel Lakeside lawn.
Volunteers help in virtually every aspect of what renders the Lakeside Chautauqua experience distinctive and unique.
In the spring, they assist with the beautification of the grounds during Lakeside Spring Cleanup Day.
Volunteers maintain Lakeside's many gardens during the summer months, teach children to sail for the first time as part of the Kids Setting Sail program and lend a hand at the evening programs and worship services in Hoover Auditorium.

The Lakeside Chautauqua
staff and Board of Directors are committed to the five strategic goals and establishing a clear road
map for the community's
future.
Lakeside's five strategic
goals are: 1.) Preserve Lakeside's heritage, traditions and culture as expressed in the mission and vision statement, 2.) Become known as a center of Chautauqua programming excellence, 3.) Assure Lakeside is a safe, healthy and aesthetically pleasing community, 4.) Address 21st century guest expectations, and 5.) Develop the financial resources needed for long-term sustainability and advancement.
This summer, many Lakesiders have been providing feedback to help plan for Lakeside's future. They have participated in interviews, focus groups, community forums, surveys, presidential roundtable discussions and commenting on social media, as well as on Lakeside's blog, The Front Porch.

Growing the Endowment is Imperative to Preserve Lakeside
|
One of Lakeside Chautauqua's strategic goals is to develop the
financial resources needed for sustainability.
Years ago, Lakeside's leaders were dedicated to securing the future of the community and decided to begin an endowment.
The endowment is like a savings account, where the principal remains untouched and a small percentage of the interest is used to help fund operations.
Lakeside's endowment totals $3.8 million, which is small for a 142-year-old community. The vision of building a larger endowment remains extremely imperative for Lakeside's future and long-term sustainability.

Shirley Stary Celebrates 10 Years |
Before the evening performances at Hoover Auditorium, Shirley Stary is running from the lobby to backstage, making sure that everything is ready for the show.
She is taking care of final details here and there and preparing her introduction
for the upcoming performance. When the clock hits
8:15 p.m., Stary, senior vice president of Programming
at Lakeside, heads out onto the stage.
Even though she talks for just a few minutes, Stary has the bright look in her eyes that somebody has when they love what they do.
Stary first visited Lakeside in 2001, when she was going through a very hard time in her life. She had recently
divorced and was coming to Lakeside for counseling with the Rev. Ruth Shannon, a longtime Lakesider.

Tim Hawkins
Tim Hawkins, a family-friendly comedian and songwriter known for his witty song parodies, will perform at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8 in Hoover Auditorium.
Hawkins began his career as a stand-up comedian after quitting his job as a grocery truck driver in 2002. Now, he performs more than 120 sold-out shows in more than 30 states each year.
His following was an overnight success, now having more than 300 million views and 125,000 subscribers on YouTube and 450,000 Facebook fans.
Hawkins' obscure approach to the comedic stage sets him apart from others. He combines hilarious, family-friendly
skits with subtle music in every show, including his notorious wretched cow impressions. Each of his pieces is well-timed and honed into perfection, all while making a deeper connection with the audience.

Family Night in the Park: Dennis Stroughmatt et l'Esprit Creole
For this week's Family Night in the Park concert, Dennis Stroughmatt et l'Esprit Creole will take the audience on a journey through Upper
Louisiana's Creole Culture with a vibrant blend of music, language and stories.
The band's music bridges the gap between contemporary Canadian and Louisiana Cajun-style music from a tradition that has been passed down for more than three centuries. The style blends together Celtic, Canadian and old-time music preserved by families in the Ozark region.
This medley of music, language, stories and culture stowed away in the Missouri Ozarks has been given a voice, in this tapestry of the world, with concerts by Dennis Stroughmatt et l'Esprit Creole.

Hoover Movie Night: "The Pajama Game"(1957)
This week's Hoover Movie Night is "The Pajama Game"
(1957) starring Doris Day, John Raitt and Ralph Dunn.
Directed by George Abbot and Stanley Donen, "The Pajama Game" tells the story of a strike at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where workers are demanding a seven and a half cent per hour raise.
Company owner, Myron Hasler (Dunn), is oblivious to the fact that this wage increase would bring the employees' wages in line with the industry standard.
Hasler hires a new superintendent, Sid Sorokin (Raitt), to fill the role of negotiator with the union and supervisor of the factory workers.

Lakeside Symphony Orchestra Concert
The Lakeside Symphony Orchestra (LSO), under the direction of Robert Cronquist, will present an evening
concert commemorating the 485th Anniversary of the Augsburg Confession. This LSO season is supported by the Ohio Arts Council.
To open the program, the LSO will perform "Overture to Der Meistersinger," which was composed by Richard Wagner in 1862.
The optimistic, light-hearted tone of the piece, paired with Wagner's ability to tap into the revolutions taking place in the German-speaking states of central Europe in the 1860s, meant that the work was a triumph at its Munich premiere in 1868.
