Without data to back this up, I say with confidence, that one of the most common phrases uttered in early September is “Gee, this summer has gone by quickly.” The Board Members, Officers and volunteers of the KLA, will certainly agree. They hosted a golf outing fundraiser, held the Annual Meeting, tested lake water and streams, monitored the shoreline, participated in various events around the lake and were featured at a Chamber of Commerce meeting held at the newly renovated Keuka Spring Winery. Pepper all that with Board and committee meetings and the pace of summer becomes clear.
Through all the activities, two key themes stand out above the rest and were presented at our Annual Meeting held on July 19 th, Water quality and the health of the lake is paramount. Keuka Lake is very clean, but it could be even cleaner. We are searching more strategically to find entry points for contaminants and ways to keep them out of the lake. To achieve this we have enlisted the support of limnology experts at the Finger Lakes Institute and elsewhere. They have analyzed our water testing data, recommended further testing and will guide us on the best course of action based upon the results. There is much we can do to enlist the support of all who love Keuka Lake. That includes businesses in the region and visitors to the lake, not just those who live here.
Reaching these segments requires the KLA to be more visible, helpful and efficient. To that end, we are updating our website, to display local events, special offers from local businesses, weather information and more. Along the way, we can inform visitors of what the KLA does and what they can do to preserve and protect the lake.
