Guest Blogger: Sarah Milheim, Advancement & Communications Coordinator

Iskender and Ahsen Konez visited Ohio and Lakeside for the first time in August 2014.

They traveled here all the way from Bursa, Turkey, the fourth largest city in Turkey with a population of 1.7 million. Their time spent in and around Lakeside was wonderful and full of new experiences.

The couple came to visit Iskender’s brother and family, Orhan and Liz Konez. Their trip spanned 10 days and included visits to Cleveland, Lakeside and the surrounding area.

Iskender and Ahsen’s first impression of Lakeside Chautauqua was how very green, clean and organized everything was in the community.
