KEEPERS

"The role of a Keeper is to tend the light, guard the ships in the darkness, and keep the sailors from harm. I propose we stand watch for Big Top Chautauqua. Together we can provide a base of financial support that will help to maintain this world-class organization. I hope you will join me as a Keeper of Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua. Thank you for answering this call" -Don Funk
