The Mayville Chautauqua Lions Club held a Bills Watch Party fundraiser for the organization at the Mayville VFW, that besides watching the game also included tailgate food and a raffle, with all of the proceeds going towards Rural Minds. One of the big items for the raffle was a Buffalo Bills player Dawson Knox cleat, donated from the team. 

There are four lions clubs in the county, and the Mayville Chautauqua Lions Club covers the area of Mayville, Westfield, Clymer, Chautauqua and Sherman. 

Jeff Winton, founder and CEO of Rural Minds, a national nonprofit organization headquartered in Chautauqua County that focuses on mental health equity for the 46 million people who live in rural America, noted that it is not just the weather this year that has been causing stress for farmers, but a lot of what is going on in the world as well. He added that the amount of extreme weather conditions seen across the country this year are not helping the matter either.

Rural Minds Founder and Chairman Jeff Winton, a native and resident of Chautauqua County, NY, sits down with MyCHQ Owner and Operator Dylan Moran to discuss the issues underlying the mental health challenges in rural America.
