| Dave Morehouse Award
Established
Dave Morehouse exemplified dedication and action. Throughout
his life he worked as an individual and with groups, usually in
leadership positions, to protect this lake that he loved. A pioneer
and visionary, Dave became actively involved in protecting the
Finger Lakes long before doing so was popular. His passing in
the summer of 2002 was a great loss (see Network
News Summer 2002).
The Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Organization and the Cayuga Lake
Watershed Network have together created the Dave Morehouse Award
to honor his contributions and to recognize others who are making
a difference to protect our magnificent water resources. Many
individuals, businesses, teachers, agricultural producers and
community groups are doing wonderful things to preserve and protect
our environment. We want to hear from you. Let us know of efforts
that make a difference by completing a nomination form, available
on our website www.cayugalake.org or by requesting a copy from
the office, at 607-532-4104.
