At Buffalo, C-SAAHN:
- Like Chautauqua, sponsored a lecture platform, this one in
partnership with the Buffalo and Erie County Central Library - the 2nd
and 4th Tuesday Noon-Hour Lecture/Discussion - to invite community
leaders to "Imagine Buffalo Niagara in the 21st Century"
and answer the question, "Why are Buffalo Niagara's Art, Architecture,
History & Nature Important?" Since last December, twenty speakers
have given us their vision and answers. The speakers were, primarily,
all leaders of various cultural, educational and lifelong learning
institutions since where they are leading their organizations will have
a significant impact on where our region is going.
- Presented "Silver Peace Dollar" Awards to Chuck LaChiusa, Robert
Shibley, Charles Rand Penney, Stanford Lipsey and John Conlin for their
lifetime efforts in helping us appreciate art, architecture, history
and/or nature.

which were created as an internet archive in partnership with the
