Looks like the number of active OA Lodges in New York State may be shrinking again.
OTETIANA/FINGER LAKES COUNCILS MERGER STUDY UPDATE – May 18, 2009
At their May meetings the Executive Boards of both the Finger Lakes Council and the Otetiana Council voted unanimously to send a Merger Resolution to their respective councils for consideration at their Annual Meeting.
On June 15 both Councils will ask their eligible voters to cast a ballot on the question of whether or not the two councils should merge into one
If approved, that would mean the eventual merger/consolidation of Ty-Ohni Lodge #95 and Ganeodiyo Lodge #417 probably with the 2010 charter process.

Not 100% sure but the new council may be named the 5 county council or Red jaket council or I am not really sure…..
Red Jacket would be a throwback to what an earlier Rochester council was named.
