Ann RobinsonA Message from the President

My Fellow Chautauquans,

We all belong to a very special fraternity of men, women and children who have made this great mystery called Chautauqua a part of our lives.  I say mystery because, since 1874, great minds have attempted to define Chautauqua and yet there still remains something missing.  I think I may have discovered the reason why!

Chautauqua, like life, is both “never-changing” and “ever-changing.”  It is never-changing because its source is the source of all, which we call God. It is ever-changing because its creations - the four pillars of religion, education, the arts and recreation - will grow and evolve into new forms and understanding as long as man continues to exist.  Herein lies the mystery of stability and variety which has sustained the Chautauqua Institution in New York for 135 seasons!

The Board of Trustees of the Florida Chautauqua Assembly, Inc. is “entrusted” to honor, preserve and further the Chautauqua Idea. As such, the Trustees have not only attended summer Assemblies at the Chautauqua Institution but have sought out the officers, leaders and best minds there in order to learn how to present Chautauqua in DeFuniak Springs, both now and permanently in the future.
