😊 Thank You, Chautauqua Lake!
August 18 was a special night for the lake we all love, and it all happened right in the middle of Bemus Point.
First, the Chautauqua Alliance Public Information meeting at the Village Casino, then our Denim & Diamonds Gala at Ellicottville Brewing on Chautauqua.
These two events brought the community together, and we’re so grateful to everyone who came out in support of the work we do together on the water.
A special thank you to this year’s event sponsors:
💎 Diamond
John & Kathryn Ford, Don & Kathleen Emhardt, Thomas & Patricia Hubbell, Mike & Rhonda Pfeil
💎 Platinum

💎 Silver
