How #GivingTuesday will Impact Lakeside this Year
Taking place on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2015, #GivingTuesday harnesses the collective power of non-profits, families, businesses and individuals to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.
 
To celebrate this global day of giving, Lakeside is introducing an initiative that supports teen programming and a youth activity center.
 
This summer, many Lakesiders provided feedback to help plan for Lakeside's future. You identified critical needs and voiced the importance of youth- and teen-focused programming to keep this age group engaged in the Chautauqua experience.
 
Help Repair Lakeside after Devastating Storms
This year, Lakeside suffered the misfortune of being directly in the path of three major sustained windstorms that resulted in record surf and significant damage to the community.
 
The storms have taken a toll on our waterfront, shoreline and dock. They ripped through Lakeside, taking cast iron benches from their bolted spaces, washing away the foundation from underneath the splash pad, devastating sections of the shoreline, stirring up trash and debris from the lake, and pulling trees and plants from their roots.

While we are thankful for the community members and staff that worked together to clean up debris, Lakeside still faces significant repairs and shoreline restoration costs.

Pool & Wellness Community Taskforce Update
The Pool & Wellness Community Taskforce held its first series of meetings to review objectives.
 
Weekly meetings will take place through November to discuss possible characteristics of a community pool and wellness program, identify size and scope, review possible locations, develop a financial model related to the funding and ongoing operations, and discuss how to engage the community throughout the due diligence process.
 
One way the Taskforce is engaging community members is with an electronic comment card. Many Lakesiders have already shared their valuable feedback, which is being reviewed by the Taskforce.

Lighthouse Festival a Success
The 20th Annual Lakeside-Marblehead Lighthouse Festival welcomed many Lakesiders back to the Marblehead Peninsula on October 10. The crisp, fall weather and all-day sunshine also set the stage for a wonderful event.
 
The festival offered tours of the Marblehead Lighthouse, live entertainment on the steps of Hoover Auditorium, children's crafts, a Pumpkin-Decorating Contest, more than 100 arts & crafts vendors, a farmers' market, hayrides, shuffleboard, miniature golf and much more.
 
Lakeside Chautauqua and the Marblehead Peninsula Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the more than 20 volunteers that donated their time to help make this community-wide event a success. Our dedicated volunteers continue to make this annual festival possible each fall.
