Lakeside Chautauqua

Aug. 22-28, 2015

A Record-Breaking Summer at the

Rhein Center

The C. Kirk Rhein, Jr., Center for the Living Arts has exceeded past

attendance records every week this summer.

The most notable increase in attendance occurred in Week 2, when 944 students were registered in the 139 classes offered.

Other records were broken as well, including the amount of mortar mix used to make concrete stepping stones (1,000 pounds), the number of rocks painted in one week (215 in Week 5), and the number of Rhein Center seasonal staff members needed to support the growing arts program (2 part-time, 4 full-time and one coordinator).

Every Voice Matters, Thank You for

Your Feedback

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.

Hoover Movie Night: "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story"

Lakesiders are invited to watch

"I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" during the final Hoover Movie Night of the summer season.

"I Am Big Bird" is a feature-length documentary about Caroll Spinney, the man who has played the role of "Sesame Street's" Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch since 1969.

The film features footage of

Spinney's collaborations with "Sesame Street" creator, Jim Henson, and inspirations that created this iconic character, known as Big Bird. Although it was Henson that created the idea of Big Bird, it has been Spinney that brought him to life since his debut.

During his career, Spinney and "Sesame Street" struggled with popularity as the show went in new directions trying to appeal to a younger audience. With the creation of Elmo, the relevance of Big Bird was challenged, and he began to appear less in episodes.

Tuesday, Aug. 25

He primarily performs classic ragtime, boogie-woogie and blues favorites on the piano.

Thursday, Aug. 27

Mipso

They also enjoy playing shows at venues and festivals that support a good cause. Mispo recently played a show to help raise money for female cancer patients in western North Carolina.

The band's members include Jacob Sharp on mandolin, Wood Robinson on bass, Joseph Terrell on guitar and vocals, and Libby Rodenbough on violin.

Dwight Lenox "The Music of Sinatra"

Dwight Lenox will return to Hoover Auditorium to perform "The Music of Sinatra" for Lakesiders.

Each of his high energy

performances features his soothing tenor voice, slick dance moves and a strong presence from his band.

Growing up in New York City, Lenox learned to perfect his talent as a member of his local church choir. He would go on to study music in a variety of genres, including country and rock 'n' roll. However, his gospel roots and inspiration from jazz legends made for a natural showcase of his vocal talent.

More than 40 years later, Lenox's musical style includes a vast repertoire of songs from legends like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, James Ingram, Stevie Wonder, Lou Rawls and Ray Charles. His raw talent also shines in each performance of original music.
