 Chautauqua is a special place with keen, insightful people. This summer we've learned how everyone deeply cares about our amphitheater. We've seen a remarkable panel of six independent historic architects and preservationists. Wisely engaged by Chautauqua leadership, Kraft a detailed report concluding with six major recommendations for saving and improving the EM, including involve and experience historic preservation architect to develop a rehabilitation plan, explore programming options and work with the structural engineer who recently found that the AMP is safe to develop a plan for strengthening and stabilizing the existing roof structure for years to come. There are only a few days left in the 2015 season and not a lot of time for trustees and the community to absorb and evaluate the implications of this new information. Consequently a broad-based coalition of Chautauquins now respectfully request that the Board of Trustees take the time necessary to fully explore the insights and options these new reports offer us. By pausing to take this important step future generations no doubt we'll look back and thank Chautauqua's trustees for their due diligence and for uniting the community. Now please contact the trustees at trustees at ciweb.org and tell them please explore the preservation options for the AMP as outlined in the advisory panel report. Thank you.
