UUP Oneonta Canoe-Kayak Event!

You are invited to the UUP Oneonta Susquehanna River Paddle- Portlandville NY- Saturday, September 21 from 1-3 pm.
UUP Oneonta members and their guests are invited to participate in a Susquehanna River paddle on Saturday, September 21, 2024 with a launch time of 1 PM and a 3 PM return. If you don’t have a canoe/kayak, life jacket, and paddle, you can rent them at the Canoe and Kayak shop in Portlandville, NY on NYS Highway 28 on the Susquehanna River. Information on Canoe and Kayak rental policies are available at https://canoeandkayakrentals.com/ Both one and two-person canoes/kayaks are available for rental. Those with their own canoes/kayaks, life jackets, and paddles will meet at the NYS Highway 28 DEC canoe and fishing access point pull-off just a few hundred yards south of the Canoe and Kayak rental business. Parking is free and plentiful at both locations. The event is recreational and non-competitive. Paddlers will travel as a group. We’ll keep an easy pace. On this stretch of the Susquehanna, there is still water, with very little current, meaning that it is an easy paddle both up and down river. If a storm necessitates rescheduling, those who sign up will be notified by email. 
For questions and to sign up, email UUP Oneonta Secretary Bill Simons at William.Simons@Oneonta.Edu Signup emails should include your name, email, telephone number, name of guests, if any, and indicate if you have a canoe/kayak or will rent one.
Have a good fall semester, and hope to see you on the river.

Pre-Retirement Workshops

Pre-Retirement Workshops are scheduled for TBD.

You may take these workshops as many times as you like as the information is rather complex especially with Medicare and feel free to have your spouse/partner attend with you.  Also, you can take these two workshops in any order as they don’t depend on each other. For this and other UUP programing information go to the UUP Events Calendar  https://uupinfo.org/calendar/

You will need to register for the workshops and a Zoom link is sent the day before the workshop to the email address that you register under.

We do not record these workshops because of privacy concerns and because the information does change, and we want to make sure you have the most current information.

To register for the pre-retirement workshop’s, use this link TBD
