A broken PROMISE - Construction of the Amphitheater Rehabilitation Project will not proceed until all funds have been raised. (July 2013) - please stop funding this project

discussing renovation and then planning demolition of the Amp is simply wrong.

In the 1970's, there was considerable discussion about potentially needing to tear down the Athenaeum, which had fallen in to serious disrepair. Fortunately, there were visionary leaders at the time who were committed to saving the historic treasure that we all enjoy today. The Amphitheater is an historical treasure of even greater importance. As a community, we should all come together to do the hard work necessary to restore and preserve this Chautauqua historical icon for the next generations.

The amp is the heart of Chautauqua. Why would it make any sense to gouge it out??

The best vacation of my life was spent at the Chautauqua Institute. Please commit to keeping and restoring the ampitheater. It.is a treasure worth preserving.

The lack of transparency in the internal affairs of Chautauqua is extremely troublesome.

Repairs not destruction.

Improvements yes, demolition no. Tom Smith, past VP and Manager of the Athenaeum would roll over in his grave if the amp was demolished.

The Board's behavior does not replicate that of the Chautauqua Institute tradition and ethic.

Please maintain the AMP. Do not demolish the heart and soul of Chautauqua.

Demolishing the Amp will also demolish most of Chautauqua's distinguished and incomparable history.

I want to see what could be done by a real rehab and the cost vs. a demolition
