Join the United Way of Cayuga County and Catalyst Cayuga for a day of learning, networking, and capacity building at the annual Nonprofit Summit.

Whether you lead, support, serve, or partner with a nonprofit, this day is for you. Join Executive Directors,
Development Directors, Program Leaders, Board Members, and nonprofit professionals for a day of
learning from experts and from each other.

Start your day with breakfast alongside nonprofit leaders facing similar challenges, followed by engaging morning breakout sessions. In the afternoon, our Capacity Building Speaker Panel: Keynote Dialogue
& Idea Sharing will bring leaders and community voices together to explore three key questions:
What does capacity building really mean? What do nonprofits need most?
And what solutions can help organizations move forward? The day will continue with afternoon
breakout sessions and wrap up with closing remarks and Happy Hour.

Join Lisa Billington, owner of The Painted Goose, for a chance to learn how to create mosaic-style artwork. She will teach glass cutting techniques. The subject of the mosaic artwork will be birds!

Space is limited so you must register in advance by calling (315)697-2950 or emailing greatswampconservancy@gmail.com

Preserving your past, one discovery at a time!

The OCMH Genealogy Club is a community dedicated to providing the perfect space for researchers to share their recent discoveries, troubleshoot difficult "brick walls," and learn new archival techniques.

Open to the public: You do not need to be an Oneida Community descendant to join! Whether you are just starting your tree or you’re a seasoned researcher navigating DNA results, our bi-monthly gatherings offer a supportive space to celebrate all family histories without the pressure of a weekly commitment.

Meeting Details

Frequency: Every two months - December 19th 2026, February 20th, 2027

Location: The Mansion House.

Experience Level: All levels welcome—from "I just started yesterday" to "I've been at this for 30 years."

Our relaxed schedule is designed for busy people who want to stay connected to the genealogy community while having plenty of time to do their own "digging" in between meetings. A two-month gap allows you the time to:

Dig into online archives.

Visit family members.

Organize your latest finds to share with the group.

Ready to dig into your roots?

Grab a coffee, bring your computer and a pedigree chart, and join us at the Mansion House to find some ancestors together!
