Join Owasco Watershed Lake Association (OWLA), Owasco Yacht Club, and the Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce for an Evening on the Lake, June 18, 2025

Have you always wondered what OWLA is all about? Have you wanted to see what Owasco Yacht Club is all about? If so, you are invited to the Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce Business After Five event hosted by OWLA and the Owasco Yacht club on June 18 from 5:00 to 6:30 pm.

This is the fourth annual event where OWLA, the Owasco Yacht Club, and the Chamber of Commerce team up to celebrate Owasco Lake. Join your fellow OWLA, Yacht Club, and Chamber of Commerce members for an evening of networking, fun, food, and fellowship on the shore of Owasco Lake.  This year’s event will feature hors d’oeuvres, wine donated by the OWLA Board of Directors, and beer tastings offered by Owasco Lake Brewing Company.  Bring your business card to be included in drawings for artwork, wine, and lake-themed gifts.

Our Business After Five event is the perfect time to build relationships in an informal, relaxed setting and learn about OWLA as well as upcoming Chamber of Commerce news and events.  OWLA members will give a brief overview of the work OWLA has accomplished and some of the plans OWLA has for the future.  OWLA board members will be happy to talk one-on-one with you about what OWLA does and what we plan to do in the future.  Everyone is welcome. OWLA members are free!

OWLA is a hands-on, boots dirty, take-action, not-for-profit organization.  Although we are not lake “police'' we do whatever we can to protect and restore our precious Owasco Lake.  We educate and inform at every opportunity.  From finding and suppressing the deadly Hemlock Woolly Adelgid that left unchecked will kill the hemlock forests, to working with farmers to create runoff filtration buffers, and helping to shore-up streams and tributaries to reduce run-off, OWLA serves to protect the Owasco Lake watershed. Through science-based cutting-edge technology, funding projects, fighting invasive species, and tracking down excessive nutrients entering the lake, OWLA works on behalf of the lake.

Because OWLA is a citizen-based 501(c)3 not-for-profit, we are only as strong as our membership.  A growing membership helps us raise our voice loud and clear and OWLA board members will be on hand to help you join the cause. If you live near the lake, recreate on the lake, depend on the lake for your drinking water and/or your business, or just love the views, you need to join OWLA!

Registration for the June 18 Business After Five at Owasco Yacht Club event is requested by calling the Chamber of Commerce at 315-252-7291 or cayugacountychamber.com.  For more information regarding the event or information about OWLA, please contact Meg Vanek (meg_vanek@owla.org) or Carol Sutkus (carol_sutkus@owla.org).
