Community Forum
At 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, we will gather as a community in Hoover Audi­torium for an update on the Pool & Wellness Center and discuss the next steps in cre­ating Lakeside's master plan.

This summer, we launched the Pool & Well­ness Campaign, raising funds to support the building of a new health and wellness facility. At the Community Forum, we will hear an up­date on the campaign and learn about how the entire community is getting in­volved, as well as the next steps relating to the timeline, wellness opportunities and programming.

In addition, the devel­opment of a master plan is a critical component for Lakeside's fu­ture to ensure that the design of the grounds and facilities continue to support Lake­side's mis­sion and five strategic goals. This process will be
exten­sive and long-term. The next steps to creating the master plan will also be reviewed.

2017 Preachers of the Week
Religion, in Christian tradition, is both personal and social holiness. There are many expressions of religion, and one's faith journey is not the same as another's faith journey.

Each summer, Lakeside invites preachers from around the world to bring their message to our Sunday Hoover Community Worship Services at 10:30 a.m., while the Chautauqua Choir sings.

Every preacher represents a different understanding of faith. We encourage them to share stories of their own faith journeys and lead our Faith for Living Hour at 9:15 a.m. Monday-Thursday in Orchestra Hall.

Wellness Advisory Team
Over the next six months, a team of community members will work together to help the Lakeside staff de­fine a comprehensive well­ness program that can be offered to residents and guests in 2017 and beyond.

The team was assembled as a result of individuals who came forward at vari­ous small group gatherings held this summer to discuss the Pool & Wellness Cen­ter. Each expressed a desire to assist Lakeside by shar­ing their respective skill sets related to wellness and a passion for healthy living.
