"State of Lakeside" Gatherings in
Florida & Ohio
Lakeside is planning a series of "State of Lakeside" Address gatherings around Florida and Ohio during the months of March and April.  
 
At each gathering, Lakeside Chautauqua President/CEO Kevin Sibbring will meet with Lakesiders, give an overview of the past year, provide an update on the work at the Grindley Aquatic & Wellness Campus, discuss Master Planning and highlight the 2017 Chautauqua summer programs.
 
Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to discuss Lakeside's future and ask questions.

Monthly Community Potlucks
During the winter and spring months, Lakeside hosts a handful of events and activities across the grounds, even though most of the shops, restaurants and businesses have closed until the summer.
  
From January-May, Lakeside invites friends and neighbors to gather for Monthly Community Potlucks. The gatherings are great for reconnecting with other year-round community members and share favorite, family recipes.
  
The potlucks are held from 12-1:30 p.m. every Third Thursday of the month in Wesley Lodge, unless otherwise noted.
  
The main dish will be provided by Otterbein North Shore. Guests are invited to bring a side dish or dessert to share.
  
Participate in our Wellness Questionnaire 
Since December, the Wellness Advisory Team has been working on a wellness questionnaire to collect input from community members. 
 
The questionnaire is divided into four parts that takes roughly 15-20 minutes to complete. The four parts include: 
  • Input about wellness
  • Fitness and wellness activities
  • Nutrition and what's important to you and your family
  • Demographic and contact information
Your input is very valuable. We encourage you to take our wellness questionnaire and share it with friends and family that visit Lakeside.

This questionnaire will be used by the Wellness Advisory Team to help de­fine and plan a comprehensive well­ness program that can be offered to residents and guests.
