We asked, and you answered! This year, more than 250 Lakesiders committ-ed their time and effort to maintaining and bettering our community by volunteering as Lakeside Chautauqua Volunteer Corps members.

The Volunteer Corps is an initiative that was launched by the Lakeside Chau-tauqua Foundation Board for Lakesiders of all ages to help fill the gap of decreased labor in Lakeside by volunteering.

We’re overwhelmed with gratitude by the excitement and dedication Lakesiders have given through their participation in the Volunteer Corps.

Here are some of the major projects the volunteers have taken on this Chau-tauqua season:

• On June 11, more than 50 volunteers worked across the grounds to clean up after a severe storm. They helped pick up branches, rake debris and ensure that the grounds were back in order. • Volunteers prepared several play-grounds by cleaning, power washing and staining playground equipment at Cherry Park, Perry Park and the Camp-ground. The entrance to the Wellness Center was also power washed by Dar-rell Waite.• Volunteers helped beautify the grounds by laying new mulch in the Memorial Garden and at the Grindley Aquatic & Wellness Campus, while Ron and Mary Ann Janke led weekly cleanups of the dock and waterfront.

Join us as we close the 147th Chautau-qua season with a candlelight gathering celebrating the joys of the summer and an invocation and blessing as we go forward into the fall.

The program will also include remarks by Lakeside Chautauqua President & CEO, Daniel Rogers, and a candle light-ing to celebrate the end of the 2020 sea-son. This is a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to gather one last time at the Steele Memorial Bandstand to close the summer.

soft pretzel, German potato salad, corn dogs, root beer floats, bottled water and canned pop from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on the Hotel Lakeside lawn. A la carte items are $2-5 or order a $12 platter. All major cre-dit cards accepted.

10:30 a.m. Chautauqua Lecture Series: The Parthenon: A Voyage through History, VIRTUAL: Zoom link on Lakeside websiteBased on his personal visit to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, and his extensive research on the ancient Parthenon, M. J. Albacete has created an illustrated lecture describing the turbulent history of this architectural masterpiece.

Built in the 5th century BC honoring Athens’ patron goddess, the Parthenon was the crowning glory of the ancient “High City.” The Ottoman Turks used the Parthe-non as a storehouse for gunpowder, resulting in an explosion, which left it a ruin.

In the early 1800s, British Ambassador Lord Elgin systematically removed vast panels of classic sculptures and shipped them to England for eventual placement in the British Museum. Now the modern Greeks want them back for their own museum, and therein lies the current dilemma. Visit lakesideohio.com/calendar and click on the event for Zoom link.

Albacete is Director Emeritus of the Canton Museum of Art and an adjunct pro-fessor at Kent State University. Prior to that, he worked at the Canton Museum of Art for more than 40 years. He started working there on a two-year grant to focus on publicity and marketing.

Albacete was retained as the head of PR & Marketing and eventually became the Executive Director. He retired from his executive position in 2014. Albacete received his master’s degree in English from the University of Akron and is a graduate of Walsh University.

1:30 p.m. Chautauqua Lecture Series: Exploring the Science of Color Theory, VIRTUAL: Zoom link on Lakeside websiteAccording to M. J. Albacete, every class in painting and photography should begin with preliminary—and essential—studies in the science of color theory. But gener-ally, they do not.

In this illustrated lecture (including a few demonstrations), the audience will enter the realm of science. As color is investigated, learn more about what color is, from how it is perceived by the human eye to where people get the colors for paint pig-ments.

VOLUNTEERS from page 1

• Volunteers have helped staff write thank you letters to Lakesiders who have given in support of the Annual Fund this fiscal year. • Groups of Lakesiders assisted at several communi-ty events like the Craft & Art Show by encouraging social distancing and answering questions. Volunteers were also crucial in helping to encourage social dis-tancing and distributing water bottles to those partici-pating in Shuffleboard Tournaments.• The Men’s Bible Study Group completed a few important projects this summer - painting the fence along the back patio of the Hotel Lakeside, repainting the doors of Hoover Auditorium and repainting the railings of Hoover Auditorium. • Throughout the season volunteers worked as ushers at bandstand events, tended to various garden beds,

swept the Hotel Lakeside porch, set up and tore down the Wellness Labyrinth and much more! Thank you to all the Lakeside friends and families

who took part in the Volunteer Corps! While the efforts of the Volunteer Corps have great-

ly helped Lakeside, we still need your support during these uncertain times. The 12-month maintenance and continuity of Lakeside’s grounds, programming, facil-ities and operations depends on your timely generosity and support.

While friends, families and guests enjoy Lakeside in the summer months, Lakeside runs all-year long. Many homeowners live in the community year-round and a number of full-time staff work diligently throughout the year to manage ongoing business and plan for next sum-mer’s Chautauqua experience.

Program preparations, fundraising, maintenance of the grounds, hosting off-season events, marketing and website updates, and implementing the budget are just some of the many tasks that are completed during the fall, winter and spring months.

As the Chautauqua season is simmering down, the need for volunteers is still strong. If you plan on being in Lakeside after Labor Day and are available to vol-unteer, please let us know! Contact the Lakeside Chau-tauqua Foundation (LCF) Office at (419) 798 4461, ext. 246, [email protected] or stop by 217 Walnut Ave.

For more ways to support Lakeside, please con-tact the Lakeside Chautauqua Foundation Office at (419) 798-4461, ext. 246 or visit lakesideohio.com/ today.

Lakeside is a special place. Everyone has a different reason for why they love to visit – family moments, healing, inspiring worship, lifelong learning, chart-topping shows, creative art classes or challenging recreational activities.

Because of these cherished moments, we all want to ensure that Lakeside’s unique Chautauqua experience remains special for generations to come.

One of the best ways to protect Lakeside is by financially supporting the Lakeside Annual Fund. The Annual Fund supports the Chautauqua program, gardens, historic buildings and many critical needs.

Your collective gifts as a community provide a vital source of revenue that underwrites virtually every aspect of what renders the Lakeside Chautauqua experience distinctive and unique.

How is the Annual Fund used to support Lakeside?

Like all organizations, Lakeside uses financial best practices, including a monthly review of financial performance

by the CFO and Lakeside Chautauqua Board Finance Committee; robust internal controls monitored by the CFO and Audit Committee; and a very vigorous planning and budgeting process culminating with Board approval of the annual budget at the winter Board meeting.

Lakeside utilizes multiple revenue sources, which is critical to a thriving business model that creates long-term financial sustainability.

However, the year-round operation of Lakeside and the summer Chautauqua program are not inexpensive. It takes a significant sum to produce the Chautauqua experience that we all love and cherish.

After revenue comes in from attendance-related activities, including season passes, daily gates fees, parking, lodging and food, groups and event fees, as well as property and trash assessments and the draw from the Endowment, there is about $700,000 of expenses in our budget that still need funded.

The Annual Fund is important because it helps bridge the gap in funding for

general operations that occur each year. Gifts provide critical support for:

• Religious Life programs• Educational programs• Cultural Arts programs• Recreational programs• Hotels & Campground• Youth/Team programs• Maintenance & Grounds• Lakeside Symphony Orchestra• Summer internship program• Group housing• Chautauqua Park• Grindley Aquatic & Wellness

Campus• Safety Services/Security• Steele Memorial Bandstand• Rhein Center • ...and many other areas

Why is your support so important?Roughly 72% of Lakeside’s funding

comes in from April-August. Budgeted revenue for this year from all attendance-related activities, including season passes, daily gates fees, parking, hotels, groups

and event fees, totaled $5.8 million. Lakeside is expecting attendance-

related revenue with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to be less than half of what was budgeted.

When you give to the Annual Fund, you make a direct and immediate impact and support a place where families and friends can rest, reconnect and renew.

Gifts of all sizes are valuable and meaningful. Through your collective generosity, you can make a significant, positive impact on Lakesiders, families and friends.

If you’re willing and able, will you consider committing a monthly gift or giving a one-time gift today to the Lakeside Annual Fund to help support your special community?

To commit a monthly gift, visit lakesideohio.com/monthly or call the Lakeside Chautauqua Foundation Office at (419) 798-4461, ext. 246. To give a one-time gift to the Lakeside Annual Fund, visit lakesideohio.com/today.

10:30 a.m. Chautauqua Lecture Series: Design-Based Learning: Teaching that Prepares Students for an Unpredictable Future, VIRTUAL: Zoom link on Lakeside websiteThe world has been changing faster than any other time in human history, prior to COVID-19. Now it is even more important that educators become innovative in devel-oping strategies to help students address new opportunities and challenges these changes present.

Society wants its citizens to be positive contributors to their community. Individuals seek a well-being that is physically and men-tally healthy. Countries want a workforce that leads to a strong economy.

Central to design-based learning is a tool for problem solving, the design process, which follows steps until the best solution is found. As teachers and students use this process, they utilize life and career skills. When it’s difficult to predict future jobs, it’s incumbent to prepare students with skills that build their resiliency: complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, coordinating with others, emotional intelligence, judgement and decision making, negotiation, service orienta-tion and cognitive flexibility.

An example will be provided to show how these challenges and opportunities are being addressed through remote instruction, in a teacher preparation program at the university level. Visit lakesideohio.com/calendar and click on the event for Zoom link.

1:30 p.m., Chautauqua Lecture Series: Why Makerspaces: Informal & Purposeful Learning through Design, VIRTUAL: Zoom link on Lakeside websiteThe maker movement is about progressing from consumption to creation and turning knowledge into action. It is perceived to be a driver of creativity, innovation and problem solving.

Makerspaces are popping up in many schools and community spaces. These fol-low in a long tradition of learning by making and through apprenticeship. The maker culture is a part of STEAM, incorporating aesthetic dimensions and creative self-ex-pression with science, math, engineering and technology.

Implementing the use of a makerspace may be done in a two-pronged approach: informal learning, which includes tinkering and exploring, AND purposeful learning, such as working through a design challenge and creating a prototype.

Some of the benefits to utilizing a makerspace will be explained, to include inter-disciplinary instruction, a link to the community outside of school, and ways to spark the hearts and souls of students. Visit lakesideohio.com/calendar and click on the event for Zoom link.

Hotel Lakeside Dining Room takes on sustainabilityThe Hotel Lakeside Dining Room is

recycling and composting for the first time in its history, part of a new initia-tive to improve Lakeside’s sustainability efforts. The restaurant is going through major changes this year, including new management, menus and sustainability goals.

Jim Switzer, Lakeside’s Senior V.P. of Municipal Services, explains that, “When Lakeside decided to manage the dining room, we felt it was a good fit and in line with our Board’s directives toward zero waste initiatives to include not only recy-cling of packaging but also food wastes.”

Switzer added that numerous restau-rants within Lakeside already have been making an effort to recycle cardboard and now the Hotel Lakeside Dining Room is becoming a part of the recycling commu-nity. The restaurant goes through count-less paper menus (a precaution taken due to COVID-19), glass bottles, aluminum

cans, cardboard boxes and much more. Throughout the month of July, the din-

ing room has been measuring the amount of waste produced, an effort that will likely continue into early August. Every day, the Maintenance Crew comes by to pick up the recyclables and they are taken to the bins by the South Gate. There are many things to consider when taking on the task of recycling, however, it is still one of the most accessible ways to reduce your environmental impact.

The EPA estimates that 75% of Amer-ican waste stream is recyclable, yet only about 30% of it is recycled. In addition, 20% of landfill waste is food. All over the country, habits must change in order to eliminate these inefficiencies, and Lake-side wants to do its part.

According to the EPA, there are many benefits to recycling, including slowing the depletion of natural resources and saving money during the manufacturing

process. However, in order for these ef-ficiencies to reach their full potential, it is important that the recyclables are not contaminated. Contamination can in-clude some plastics/garbage that cannot be processed, or recyclable objects that do not have extra food rinsed off.

To avoid recycling contamination, the Hotel Lakeside Dining Room employees were trained to know the list of recycla-ble objects provided by Ottawa, San-dusky, Seneca Solid Waste Management District (recycleoss.org).

While recycling is important and has many benefits, there’s still a significant amount of other waste in the Dining Room. Composting offers an opportunity for some of this waste to be disposed of in a way that’s more beneficial and sus-tainable than a landfill.

Composting is the process of organic waste being broken down into a nutrient rich soil conditioner. Composting is fairly

easy to implement within one household on a smaller scale, however, it becomes more complex within the restaurant in-dustry. In order to avoid pests and save some space, the Hotel Lakeside Dining Room has partnered with Barnes Nurs-ery, headquartered in Huron, to pick up the compostable materials every Tues-day and they take care of the composting from there.

Another benefit to working with Barnes (aside from the ease, and the saved space) is the ability for the dining room to compost more materials. Small-er/ personal composts are slightly more finicky and often cannot handle meat and most dairy products without generating horrible smells and a pest problem. How-ever, Barnes and its more industrial facil-ities can handle some of these products that can be intense on other compost bins.

For more info about composting, visit tinyurl.com/LKSDcompost.

Protect the pillars through monthly givingThe global pandemic has affected all

aspects of our lives. As we face this crisis together, Lakeside realizes everyone has their own personal commitments and other areas they’re supporting, but we’re asking you to come together as a community to secure Lakeside’s future.

Your investment in the Lakeside mission today helps preserve the Lakeside experience for tomorrow and future generations.

Stand with fellow Lakesiders to provide much-needed financial support by giving a one-time gift or committing a monthly gift to the Lakeside Annual Fund.

Establishing a monthly gift allows you to give in manageable increments through convenient automatic deductions from your credit card, debit card or checking account.

Monthly gifts also make it easy to reach a higher level of support without giving one large gift at year-end.

This is an unusual time in the world and at Lakeside, and we need your help.

Roughly 72% of Lakeside’s funding comes in from April-August. Budgeted revenue for this year from all attendance-related activities, including season passes, daily gates fees, parking, hotels, groups and event fees, totaled $5.8 million. Lakeside is expecting attendance-related revenue with the effects of the COVID-19

pandemic to be less than half of what was budgeted.

Therefore, Lakeside is challenging 200 friends and families to unite and support the Annual Fund this fiscal year by committing

a monthly gift . Thirty-two generous Lakesiders have already stepped up to the challenge! Will you stand with fellow Lakesiders and help bridge this gap by committing a monthly gift to the Lakeside Annual Fund?

To make a gift, visit lakesideohio.com/today. To commit a monthly gift, visit lakesideohio.com/monthly. Thank you! Your collective support as a community will make a significant impact at Lakeside today, tomorrow and for future generations.

Their songs were based on music from the middle of the 19th century, which A.P. Carter recorded from the descendants of British families living in the hills around southwestern Virginia.

Steve is a musician from Columbus who specializes in American Civil War mu-sic, as well as music featuring the life of Stephen Foster and The Carter Family. He has studied the American Civil War since his teens and has devoted the past 20 years to studying the music of this era in American history.

Lakeside announces 2021 Preachers of the Week Religion, in Christian tradition, is both personal and

Singing the Lord’s songREV. DR. CHARLES YOOSTDIRECTOR OF RELIGIOUS LIFE & CHURCH OUTREACH

Since 2015, Lakesiders have been welcomed to Dockside Worship by the voice and instrumental music of Jennifer Linville.

Originally asked to play the keyboard, “Folks noticed that I was also singing as I played the praise songs and hymns, and pretty soon there was a microphone in front of me,” mused Linville as she reflected on her years of service, which also initially included accompanying the Tuesday and Thursday evening Vespers by the Lake services.

Now expecting her third child, Lin-ville has made the decision to stepdown from her Lakeside musical responsibili-ties.

Her last Sunday at the Steele Memo-rial Bandstand will be Sunday, Sept. 6. At that time, please help us thank her and share expressions of appreciation.

For those who want to hear more of her music, during the quarantine this spring, Linville made an album of piano music entitled, Pandemic Piano: Conta-gious Calm in the Midst of Chaos. If you

would like a copy, visit The Fine Print bookstore or contact [email protected] or you may see her around Lakeside with her husband, Ben, and her boys, Raef and Felix. You might also see her at the Bluebird Café next summer or the Lakeside Laundromat!

In other words, Linville will be step-ping away from Dockside music leader-ship, but not from Lakeside Chautauqua! Jennifer has been a blessing to all of us. May God bless her and her family in all their future endeavors!

MILLER from page 1

FORREST from page 1 MALONE from page 1

An avid adventure motorcyclist, the Rev. Dr. Miller has ridden motorcycles for more than 250,000 miles across the U.S. and Canada, including three trips to Alaska from his home in Ohio.

He founded the Circuit Riders Mo-torcycle Ministry through which he has led seven motorcycle mission trips to Vietnam, providing more than 100 mo-torcycles to Vietnamese United Methodist pastors.

The Rev. Dr. Miller is adaptable, a strong visionary and a transformational leader. He has served congregations of

varying sizes and in churches located in rural, town and suburban communities.

Previous appointments include Grace UMC in Piqua, Park Avenue UMC in Ha-milton, and student appointments at the Morrow/Zoar & Highland/Auburn Char-ges in southwestern Ohio.

The Rev. Dr. Miller earned his bachelor’s degree from Asbury Univer-sity, a Master of Divinity degree from the Asbury Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from United Theological Seminary.

Munger has an eclectic congregation with an engaging “Come and See” spirit and a deep appreciation for its neighbor-hood. With The Rev. Forrest’s leader-ship, the new congregation has experien-ced remarkable growth. Munger has an average Sunday worship attendance of more 1,100 per week, with half of the church members having had no previous church affiliation.

“My favorite thing about the Munger congregation is the genuine sense of ex-citement and gratitude on Sundays,” says the Rev. Forrest. “We are grateful to see each other, grateful for another week of

life, and grateful to sing and pray in our beautiful church. There’s nothing like it.”

The Rev. Forrest was raised in West Africa and Virginia, which may be why he is most passionate about the inter-section of faith and culture. He has a well-followed blog, andrewforrest.org, where he discusses this topic as well as many others.

He has an undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York City-and received his graduate degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Prior to that appointment, she served several different churches, the last of which was Gary UMC in Wheaton, Ill., where she was Senior Pastor. Bishop Malone was also elected to represent the Northern Illinois Conference as a delegate for several years.

“I’m so thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to serve local churches located in the inner city, the suburbs and rural areas,” says Bishop Malone. “It’s given me a variety of ministry experiences that culminated in serving as a District Superintendent for the very conference where I grew up.”

Today, Bishop Malone serves as President of the General Commission on the Status & Role of Women and is a member of the Board of Trustees at Gar-rett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. As resident Bishop, she also serves on the Boards of Trustees at United Metho-dist-affiliated colleges, seminaries and organizations in East Ohio.

Bishop Malone has taught courses as an adjunct professor at Aurora University and Northern Baptist Seminary in Lom-bard, Ill. She has also published articles, blogs and book reviews and has written chapters for several books.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Lakeside earns 9th Tree City USABILL SMITH LAKESIDE TREE ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHAIR

Lakeside Chautauqua has again been recognized as a Tree City USA. This is the ninth time our community has been honored with this nationally recognized award. Because of the Coronavirus, this year the award was given by mail rather than by the traditional celebration sponsored by the Nor-west Ohio Department of Urban Forestry and one of the local commu-nities.

The title of Tree City USA was be-stowed upon the Lakeside community for its ongoing efforts to maintain and improve quality of life through a compre-hensive tree management program. The program is guided by the Tree Advisory Committee and Lakeside Chautauqua.

The Ohio Department of Natural Re-sources, Division of Forestry’s Urban

Forestry Assistance Program acts as a guiding hand in helping a community be-come qualified as a Tree City USA.

The Regional Urban Forester recom-mends a community to the Arbor Day Foundation for this standing.

In order to achieve the title and the honor, a community must meet four standards: a tree ordi-nance; an active Tree Commis-sion or forestry department; a comprehensive urban forestry program supported by a mini-mum of two dollars per capita; and an annual Arbor Day proc-

lamation and public observance. Ohio boasts the greatest number of

Tree Cities in the United States, and this year marks Ohio’s 43rd consecutive year as the top Tree City USA state, according to the Ohio Division of Forestry.

For additional information about the Tree City USA program or the Arbor Day Foundation, visit arborday.org.

Sign up for Volunteer CorpsThe Lakeside Chautauqua Volunteer

Corps, a new initiative organized by the Lakeside Chautauqua Foundation Board, has been hard at work.

The Volunteer Corps, co-directed by Sally DePerro and Jack Allen, is an op-portunity for Lakesiders of all ages to help fill the gap of decreased labor in Lakeside by volunteering.

If you’re interested in joining the Volunteer Corps, download a volunteer application at lakesideohio.com/volun-teer and return it to [email protected] or the Lakeside Chau-tauqua Foundation (LCF) Office, located at 217 Walnut Ave, or call (419) 798-4461, ext. 246.

Help Wanted: Loretta Wilken, Lake-side’s Master Gardener & Groundskeep-er, is looking for volunteers to weed and

help trim dead buds across the grounds. If interested in volunteering, please meet Loretta at the Memorial Garden at 9 a.m. Thursdays and bring your own equip-ment.

Are you here this fall? Lakeside needs your help with various projects during the remaining weeks of the Chau-tauqua season and into the fall. We have many volunteer opportunities through early October and appreciate all the help we can get so that our 2021 season is prepped for visiting families and friends. If you’re in Lakeside and are available to volunteer, let us know! Contact the LCF Office at (419) 798-4461, ext. 246, [email protected] or stop by 217 Walnut Ave.

Environmental Stewardship SocietyThe Lakeside Environmental Steward-

ship Society (LESS) is an important group in Lakeside Chautauqua – one that shares and implements ideas to improve our environment.

The primary goal of the organization is to promote the understanding, apprecia-tion, protection and improvement of the environment surrounding us.

A secondary goal is to influence state and national legislatures in their actions to protect and improve the environment.

All are encouraged to participate in LESS programs and events this summer so that we may work together to improve not only our Lakeside environment, but also the environment in our hometowns.

Faith Walk Devotional bookletAs a gift from Lakeside’s Religious

Life pillar, complimentary Faith Walk Devotional booklets are available at the Administration Office, Waterfront/Infor-mation Center, hotels, Welcome Center and Fifth Street/South Gates.

Lakeside is a special place. It has be-come sacred ground for many through the years. We invite you to make a “spiritual pilgrimage” through Lakeside, stopping at the 16 places identified in the booklet.

Read the printed Scripture passages

and reflections, and spend as much time as you choose in meditation and prayer. You may choose to go from place to place all at once, or go to one or more of these places each day. Journey alone or take someone with you.

We hope this booklet will help you enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Lake-side, and that these meditations will en-hance your spiritual life and energize you for the future.

Faith for Living Hour, Aug. 24-26Faith for Living Hour will be a hybrid

experience, presented onsite at 9 a.m. at the Steele Memorial Bandstand, as well as recorded and uploaded later that day to Lakeside’s website at lakesideohio.com/calendar and official YouTube page at lakesideohio.com/youtube.

Masks required. Please practice safe social distancing. While some seating is provided in Bettinger Park, guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets. In the case of inclement weather, Faith for Living Hour will be livestreamed at 9 a.m. with no in-per-son audience to Lakeside’s website at lakesideohio.com/calendar, Facebook at facebook.com/lakesideohio or YouTube at lakesideohio.com/youtube.

The Rev. Dr. Dennis Miller’s theme for the week is “Smooth Sailing through the Winds of Change.”

The Coronavirus pandemic has sent ripples around the world. We are now in a place in history where we are navigating through the waves of change.

This can be exhausting, confusing and downright scary! Although the presence of anxiety is unavoidable, the prison of anxiety is optional.

In this week’s Faith for Living Hour, the Rev. Dr. Miller sails with us through stormy seas as we discover how we can not only survive but thrive through the waves of change!

REV. DR. CHARLES YOOSTDIRECTOR OF RELIGIOUS LIFE & CHURCH OUTREACH

Chip Richter tells us in one of his de-lightful tunes, “You’ll never be lost in Lakeside if you know this song.” The rhythm then picks up, and Chip sings the names of all the “tree” streets (plus Cen-tral!) beginning with Oak and proceeding to Poplar. It’s true—if you can remember Chip’s song, you can find your way.

Don’t you wish that finding our way on our spiritual journey was as simple as finding our way in Lakeside? Unfortu-nately, life often doesn’t work that way. Over time, our experiences—both good and bad—can obscure our vision until we lose track of where we are going.

As part of Lakeside’s commitment to nurturing mind, body and spirit, we are pleased to offer a program in Spiritual Direction. Spiritual Direction is a minis-try that focuses on caring for the soul and helping searching souls to find their way.

Spiritual Direction is not therapy, and it’s not problem solving. But through Spiritual Direction, we offer compassion-ate listening and we seek to help people find their way to their spiritual home.

The Rev. Sharon Seyfarth Garner, Ginny Pippin and the Rev. Tom Frost have agreed to serve as Lakeside’s Spiri-tual Directors this season. All three have been specially trained in the art of spiri-tual listening and direction.

Lakeside is pleased to introduce our Spiritual Directors for the 2020 season.

The Rev. Sharon Seyfarth Garner, Director & Founder of Belly of the Whale Spiritual Direction & Retreat Ministries, is a United Methodist pastor (ordained in 1997), certified Spiritual Director (Igna-tian Spirituality Institute), retreat leader and author (Praying with Mandalas: A Colorful, Contemplative Practice and Mandalas, Candles and Prayer: A Sim-ply Centered Advent). The Rev. Seyfarth Garner considers it a personal joy and professional privilege to listen deeply as a Spiritual Director and to serve as a spiritual companion with folks seeking

a deeper awareness of God’s presence in daily life.

Ginny Pippin is a certified Spiritual Director and attended the Ignatian Spir-ituality Institute at John Carroll Univer-sity. She holds an advanced certificate in pastoral ministry from Notre Dame College and has a degree in theology. Combining this with her experience as a business owner, she now coaches C-level executives and is the Director of the Ig-natian Volunteer Corps. Pippin has been a Spiritual Director and retreat leader since 2001 and has walked with many seeking God in all things.

The Rev. Tom Frost entered ministry as a United Methodist pastor in 2009 after a 27-year career practicing law. As part of his D.Min. studies at Wesley Theological Seminary in 2016, the Rev. Frost became interested in Ignatian spirituality and the ways that John Wesley and Ignatius of Loyola both sought to combine faith and action in their spiritual journeys.

The Rev. Frost is currently participat-ing in the Spiritual Guidance Program at the Shalem Institute in Washington, D.C. He is passionate about helping people to discover that even the most ordinary parts of life can become extraordinary when we discover God’s presence in all things.

The Spiritual Direction program con-tinues through the entire season. Because of the specialized character of this min-istry, a fee ordinarily would be charged for this service. Due to a special donation that has been made, we are pleased to of-fer the first session of Spiritual Direction at no cost.

Are you interested in learning more about this ministry? Contact (419) 798-4461, ext. 214 to request a confidential appointment. Let us provide a companion for your journey and help you find your way.

AnnouncementsDue to COVID-19, your pool experience

at the Grindley Aquatic & Wellness Campus will look much different this year.

Please read about our new online reservation process, hours of operation, check-in procedures and more.

Capacity: The pool has traditionally held 300 swimmers at a time in the past. However, the capacity this summer has been reduced to 60 swimmers per timeslot for safe social distancing. Chairs and tables are available for use but are not to be moved as they are placed 6 feet apart for safe social distancing. Please note that we have purposely placed more chairs on the pool deck than capacity to make it easier for family groups to find spaces together and maintain distance from others.

Online reservations: To use the pool, you must make an online reservation for Open Swim and Lap Swim; available on a first-come, first-served basis.

With the overwhelming interest for the pool, hundreds of Lakesiders have been logging on at the exact same time, filling timeslots within seconds.

2020 Lakeside Chautauqua Foundation Board of Directors

Environmental tip from LESSTogether we can help our world by making one change each week. Keep batter-

ies out of the landfill. Take car and marine batteries to: Advance Auto Parts, 2040 East Harbor Rd., Port Clinton, OH 43452, (419) 734-9303. For Alkaline batter-ies, deliver them to Goodwill Port Clinton, 205 SE Catawba Rd, Port Clinton, OH 43452, (419) 734-6042.

As a reminder and to keep our community healthy and safe, we ask that you review Lakeside’s safety protocols and increase your diligence in taking precautions.

If you feel you have any symptoms at all, please refrain from visiting Lakeside Chautauqua.

If you are already in Lakeside and have symptoms, please contact your doc-tor, quarantine for up to 14 days, wear a mask/face covering at all times, maintain 6 feet of distance between you and oth-ers and use hand sanitizer and wash hands frequently with soap and water. If your doctor recommends that you be tested for COVID-19, tests are performed nearby at Magruder Hospital.

As a reminder, if you have tested pos-itive for COVID-19 during or after your visit to Lakeside, immediately notify the Ottawa County Health Department at (419) 734-6800 and Lakeside Chau-tauqua at (419) 798-4461. The Ottawa County Health Department can assist you with proper quarantine procedures and access to health care in the area, to pro-tect you and others in the community.

As of right now, there have not been any COVID-19 cases reported to Lake-side Chautauqua. We remain in close contact with our local health officials to learn of any reported cases in the sur-rounding area and at Lakeside.

Here’s what Lakeside Chautauqua is doing to increase hygiene and infec-tion prevention during COVID-19:

• Conducting daily employee health-checks/taking temperatures prior to each shift

• Employees will be wearing masks at venues and public spaces

• Emphasizing employees to have good hygiene, wash hands frequently and clean workspaces before, during and after shifts

• Programming will be moved out-doors whenever possible to reduce the likelihood of transmission and to practice safe social distancing

• Plexiglass barriers will separate em-ployees and guests in areas of inter-action whenever possible

• Hand sanitizer will be available in public restrooms and in other select locations throughout Lakeside

• Cleaning of shared equipment at shuffleboard, miniature golf, tennis, pickleball and sailing

• Extra cleaning of high-traffic indoor areas: hotel lobbies, Hotel Lakeside porch and Administration Office

• Additional cleaning of children’s ar-eas like playground

Here’s what Lakeside Chautauqua is not able to do to minimize COVID-19 risks:

• We are not cleaning large public areas like the dock, beach, Pavilion decks and streets

• We are not cleaning the numerous benches and picnic tables that are placed throughout Lakeside

• There is no way that Safety Services and other Lakeside employees can constantly enforce COVID-19 rec-ommendations, such as social dis-tancing and wearing of masks. The State of Ohio and Ottawa County are not able to police it, and neither is our security team and Lakeside staff. It will take everyone in Lakeside do-ing their part and abiding by the rules this summer

Here’s what we expect from you and your guests during your visit to Lake-side Chautauqua:

• Protect you and your family as need-ed through the use of personal pro-tective equipment, such as masks, social distancing and abiding by the recommendations and executive or-ders set forth by Government entities

• To protect yourself and others, Lake-side recommends that guests wear masks in public spaces. There may be independently owned businesses (shops, restaurants, services, rentals, bed & breakfasts, etc.) that require customers to wear masks

• Adhere to safe social distancing practices. Respect 6 feet of physical distance between you and others at all times

• Bring and use hand sanitizer and wash hands frequently with soap and water

• Bring/use sanitizing spray or wipes to sanitize benches and seating

• Bring/use sanitizing spray or wipes to wipe down picnic tables before and after eating

• Obey “safe play” procedures out-lined at each recreation venue

• When in line at businesses, events and public restrooms, please follow the procedures for entering and exit-ing and proper social distancing

• If you feel you have any symptoms at all, do not leave your cottage until all symptoms are cleared, or return home to quarantine

• Immediately notify the Ottawa County Health Department at (419) 734-6800 and Lakeside at (419) 798-4461 if you have tested positive for COVID-19 during or after your visit to Lakeside

Thank you for your cooperation. Lakeside is selling branded masks for $11 at the Administration Office, located at 236 Walnut Ave.
