The Pool & Wellness Campaign Goal is Within Sight - Jump into the Race Today!

The goal of building a community swimming pool and wellness center is within sight.  Lakesiders are jumping into the race. Every gift and pledge over the next 20 days, regardless of size, is vital to the success of this campaign.   

The Lakeside Chautauqua Board of Directors met on July 30 for an update about the Pool & Wellness Center and campaign.   

The Board did authorize additional spending for the purpose of funding preliminary work necessary for the Pool & Wellness Center. The Board has not made any final decision about moving forward.

Much is scheduled to be accomplished in August. Perhaps the most important piece of information is the forthcoming estimate on the cost to complete the project. Work is in progress to obtain the best estimates that can be available for consideration for the next Board meeting on Saturday, Aug. 20. 

We will continue to bring relevant facts about progress to the community in a timely manner.  

Similarly, although we have made great progress toward the funding goals due to the generosity of the Lakeside community, we still need to make more progress in order to have a successful campaign. The Lakeside Chautauqua Foundation Board and Campaign Leadership Team continue to engage the community.

The Lakeside Chautauqua Foundation Board shared at the meeting that $2.5 million has been raised. We are truly grateful for each of the gifts and pledges received to date. We have continued to involve all generations in helping support this project.

We are all in this together and only have a short time to reach the goal of $3.0 million. If you have not made a pledge or a gift to date, we need your help. You are invited in the next 20 days to prayerfully consider how you might support the Pool & Wellness Center Campaign. If we raise the funds, we hope to build the Pool & Wellness Center during the winter.
