Wright Air Museum Scholarship Fund Science Scholarship Fenton History Center Lifelong Learning YMCA Camp Onyahsa Summer Camp AWARDS Peter and Holly Sullivan Named John D. Hamilton Community Service Award Recipients Since its inception in 1993, the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation has had the honor of presenting the John D. Hamilton Community Service Award to an individual or group who has “demonstrated dedication, leadership, and support in furthering community spirit.” The 2016 recipients were Peter and Holly Sullivan. Peter, a life-long Jamestown resident, and Holly, a Berea, Ohio native, met while students at Miami University (Ohio); the rest is history! Married in 1969, and parents to Katy, Lindsey, and Judson, the Sullivans devoted their lives to enriching the lives of others in Chautauqua County. Together, they volunteered their time and energies to many worthwhile causes. Peter, retired from PB Sullivan and Company, is a past United Way campaign chair; Jamestown YMCA campaign chair and current board member; Sheldon Foundation Board of Directors member and current president; member of several WCA Hospital campaign committees; and Friends of Midway member, helping to lead renovations for the new miniature golf course. In addition, he held positions with the Boys and Girls Club, Reg Lenna Center for the Arts, Jamestown Prendergast Library, and Chautauqua Institution Foundation. Holly, a teacher at the former Euclid Elementary School, contributed her time and talents as Reg Lenna Center for the Arts past president; WCA Hospital Board of Directors and ER campaign advisory member; Lucy-Desi Center founder and board member; and past United Way co-chair. She is a former Woman of the Year (1984) and Court Appointed Special Advocates Person of the Year for 2016. These are only some of the ways in which the Sullivans have, together and individually, demonstrated the ideals on which the John D. Hamilton Community Service Award was founded. Congratulations to an outstanding and deserving couple! Built to Last Frewsburg Couple Receives Axel W. Carlson “Unsung Hero” Award Jerry and Norma Eklund of Frewsburg have been married 54 years this July. In that time, they raised four sons, established a successful business and still found time to give back to their community. During a reception held June 14, 2016 at The Relief Zone, the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation presented the Eklunds with its Axel W. Carlson “Unsung Hero” Award for their years of service. “Jerry and Norma have been described as role models to younger generations, not only for the commitment they have shown each other in their 53 years of marriage, but for their commitment to their community,” said Randy Sweeney, Community Foundation executive director. “We are proud to honor them as this year’s Axel W. Carlson Award recipients.” For the past 40 years, Jerry has owned and operated C&R Construction with Norma working in the offi ce. Today, their sons Rick and Scott have taken an active role in the family business and all three men serve as co-owners. “We allow the Lord to lead our lives, both personally and professionally,” Jerry said. “That is what has always worked for us.” Devoted members of their congregation, Siloam Fellowship Church, Jerry and Norma have volunteered their time and talents to their church, as well The Relief Zone, where Jerry has served as president and the Frewsburg Lions Club, of which Jerry is currently the lion tamer and Norma serves as treasurer. The Eklunds also took a leadership role in their local Red Kettle Campaign, an annual fundraising eff ort for The Salvation Army. Almost 13 years ago, The Salvation Army was considering removing the Frewsburg Tops as a location for the Red Kettle and its bell ringers due to not having enough volunteers. Jerry and Norma took it upon themselves and began calling individuals and organizations to ring the bell. Since then, they have been able to fi ll every hour with local civic groups, individuals and students. If someone cannot fi ll an hour, Jerry and Norma go out and ring the bell themselves. “It’s been the most amazing thing,” Norma said. “People start contacting us in the fall to see if they can arrange a time to ring the bell.” The Axel W. Carlson “Unsung Hero” Award is presented annually to those who have made signifi cant contributions through their volunteer eff orts while not receiving, nor expecting reward or recognition. “There is no way we could accept this honor without it being the two of us,” Jerry said. “It’s always been the two of us.” Diana and Randy Ordines, two of the many individuals who donated on Big Match Day, and Randy Sweeney, Community Foundation executive director.

    Best of Lake Erie — featuring Chautauqua Lake Relax with lake breezes and a cocktail or strike a yoga pose as the mighty Niagara Falls rushes before you. Enjoy dinner in an old grain silo in Buffalo or world-class cheesecake on the streets of Detroit. Zipline in Geneva-on-the-Lake or stop by a speakeasy in Erie. Whatever your idea of a good time, you’ll find it around Lake Erie. Best Chautauqua Lake Getaway Chautauqua Lake offers year-round nourishment for the mind, body and soul, even beyond the gates of the Chautauqua Institution. Along its 41 miles of shoreline, you’ll find small villages, each with its own distinctive charm. Listen to moving music in Mayville, fill your belly in Bemus Point, laugh in Jamestown or head south to Celoron, where a new destination hotel is making waves. At first light, strands of sunshine mingle with swirling mist hovering just above Chautauqua Lake on a crisp morning. The water is calm until a skein of honking geese come in for a landing, skidding across the surface and sending a wave of ripples in front of the resort-like Chautauqua Harbor Hotel in Celoron, New York. The 135-room hotel opened last year on the grounds of the famed Celoron Park, a popular theme park that opened in 1894 and shuttered in 1962. It’s a great spot for a getaway — anytime of the year — and makes an ideal launching spot for exploring the rest of the lake. But before you head out, make sure to enjoy what the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel has to offer.

  • REPORT 2019 ENRICHING the QUALITY of LIFE in the CHAUTAUQUA REGION Typically, This Annual Report Only Includes Activity from the Prior Calendar Year
    Photo by Sarah Minor annual REPORT 2019 ENRICHING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE CHAUTAUQUA REGION Typically, this Annual Report only includes activity from the prior calendar year. As our community came to a standstill in mid-March because of COVID-19 we knew we had to make an exception. Our theme, “It Takes a Village” was already selected, little did we know how appropriate that would be. Local businesses changed their normal operations overnight to begin producing medical equipment, hand sanitizer, and protective gear for frontline workers. Community members rallied around essential workers to provide meals and words of encouragement during their long, and often difficult, shifts. Volunteers gave their time and resources to sew thousands of face coverings to protect those serving in food pantries, soup kitchens and childcare centers. Educators and school administrators reached students in new and creative ways to ensure they received food, educational resources and, most importantly, emotional support. Our colleagues in philanthropy quickly pooled significant funding to meet unprecedented community needs. Our village came together to lend a hand where help was needed and to look toward the future with hope. 1 Chautauqua Region Community Foundation Chautauqua County Crisis Response Fund: COVID-19 On March 23, the Community Foundation, in collaboration with the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, United Way of Northern Chautauqua County and United Way of Southern Chautauqua County announced the creation of the Chautauqua County Crisis Response Fund: COVID-19. This county-wide collaboration and pool of shared resources is unprecedented. The Foundation’s Board of Directors committed $100,000 to the effort.
