Chautauqua Rails to Trails has announced a generous initiative by Ron Mavity, the host of a vacation rental house in Bemus Point.

Mavity is offering a complimentary copy of Wendy Lewellen’s fundraising book, “Good Soles: Chautauqua Rails to Rails Namesakes and Trailblazers,” to every party visiting his property, entirely at his own expense.

For those interested in purchasing the book, it is available online at chaurtt.org on the Donate page, or by calling 716-485-6677. Donations can also be made at several local businesses, including Ashville General Store, Bemus Point Library, Bemus Point Pottery, Cadwell Cheese House, Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, CHQ Marketplace, Fenton History Center, Full Strength Coffee in Westfield, the Lawson Center, Loud Performance, Portage Hill gallery, and Webb’s Candies and Gifts. Proceeds from the books sales go entirely to supporting the trail organization. Chautauqua Rails to Trails deeply appreciates this collaboration with Mr. Mavity.
