Lakesiders are Thankful for…

Staff Blogger: Melissa Kunz, Content Manager All across America, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated once a year as a day to give thanks. A day dedicated to giving grateful acknowledgement to individuals who have given their efforts, favors or time. In between passing the plate of turkey around the dinner table, or savoring that last bite of pumpkin pie, Lakesiders are taking the time to give thanks to the special people or for the irreplaceable moments in their lives. We asked our Facebook community and Lakeside Chautauqua staff…

Teach Children about Giving Back on #GivingTuesday

Staff Blogger: Jessica Kidd, Advancement Manager As Lakeside Chautauqua joins #GivingTuesday, a national day of giving on December 2, 2014, we invite you to share the spirit of giving with your own children or grandchildren. Teaching a younger generation about the power of giving is as simple as showing them how in real and tangible ways. Include giving as part of your holiday conversation, and identify ways you can give to others as a family. The memories of these acts of kindness will last a lifetime.

The Putter’s Observations of the Mini-Golf Course

Staff Blogger: Gretchen Colón, Vice President of Advancement & Communications Dear Friends, The seasons are changing in Lakeside Chautauqua.
