WEST SENECA, N.Y — Mark Lesinski, Director of Business Development for Landmark Strategy Group, recently participated in
the Chautauqua Gran Fondo BIke Rally, an annual cycling
event in Mayville, NY. The event brings together cycling enthusiasts of all
levels for a recreational, scenic ride around the community and raises funds
for local charities in the community. Upon registration, cyclists choose from a
20-mile, 40-mile, or 60-mile route. This year, event registration fees are going to 3 community
organizations: Crèche, Bemus Point / Stow Ferry, and Mayville Library.
Landmark in the Community
Landmark Strategy Group is based in West Seneca, NY, a community
near Lake Erie. A scenic drive south along the lake’s edge is the route to
Mayville, NY, situated just east of Lake Erie on Lake Chautauqua. As an
enterprise committed to responsible business practices, the Landmark team is
continuously seeking out ways to support the needs of the greater Western New
York region. Mr. Lesinski has been a volunteer with Buffalo
City Mission for several years and
frequently participates in various community events and races geared toward
serving the community.
“Giving
back to our local community is a core tenet of our business. It’s always
especially rewarding to get involved in something that promotes health through
community-building and fitness, while simultaneously generating funds for our
local nonprofits in need. We love to get out and get moving on the weekends and
we were glad to lend our support to these causes,” shared Mr. Lesinski.
Organizations That Will
Benefit From The Bike Rally
Crèche – A Volunteer
Women’s Group
Crèche is a volunteer organization of women dedicated to
providing basic needs for the youth of the Jamestown, NY area. The group hosts
various events and fundraisers for children in need and also donates hand-sewn
creations to facilities such as local hospitals.
In June 2021, for example, the Crèche Sewing Committee donated 120 blankets to the UPMC
Chautauqua Maternity Department. The group
also collects donations for its maternity closet and baby showers to provide
for expectant mothers in need of assistance.
Bemus Point – Stow Ferry
Bemus Point
– Stow Ferry is a historically
significant, culturally enriching, and still useful hallmark of Chautauqua
Lake. Ferry rides have been in operation since 1811 and are continued by a
nonprofit volunteer group. While the original ferry is now obsolete and out of
use, the current steel hull ferry has been in use since 1929 and can
accommodate the transport of people, cars, and motorcycles across the lake.
Many structural repairs were completed in 2018-2019 and the ferry is now back in
operation after a 3-year hiatus. Families, visitors, and classrooms frequently
visit the ferry, as it has become a local attraction enjoyed by the
community.
Mayville Library
The Mayville
Library is a small community library that
opened in 1906. Its current building has been in use as the library location
since 1961. The library is now part of the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library
System and supports the community with traditional public library services and materials,
job seeker assistance, ancestry research, and digital learning resources.
The Landmark team had a wonderful time enjoying a beautiful
Saturday morning and supporting the community. After everything we’ve all
endured throughout the past year, in particular with the Covid-19 pandemic,
it’s great to have the opportunity to gather, support local restaurants, and
invest in organizations that will continue to directly enhance the lives of
community members. We look forward to riding again next year.
