Do you listen to the same old, same old music? From which decade does your same old music hail? Free Rider, is back to take our hands and hearts and walk us through sixty years of the same old, same old favorites. No need to bring your own CDs, tapes, LPs or 8-tracks - the guys of Free Rider will be ready!
A delicious menu of foods popular in each decade will be available. Although the menu will be diverse, everyone should be able to find a favorite that brings back memories. Rumor has it that the 70s may just include a chocolate fountain . . . Networking is a business habit that benefits everyone - regardless of your stage in work and life. Take advantage of knowledge and wisdom of others to discuss the same old problems, while looking for new ideas, new technologies, and new opportunities. Same old friends and same old chance to make new connections!The “Rocking Through The Decades Meet & Greet” begins Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm!

OWEA CODE OF ETHICSAdopted June 17, 1964, Cincinnati, Ohio
As one engaged in providing public and private wastewater treatment, and as a member of the Ohio Water Environment Association, I hold true to the following principals:
1. To perform my duties to the best of my ability in the operations of facilities for which I am responsible.
2. To endeavor to keep myself informed in the technology of my field, utilizing membership and participation in technical and professional organizations, technical, literature, and research whenever possible.
3. To refrain from participating in any endeavor which to my knowledge is fraudulent or contrary to public and private welfare, or contrary to the welfare of my employer.
4. To oppose incompetent and incomplete inspections, sampling, analysis, testing, consultation, development, and research work. And in all instances, to exemplify complete intellectual honesty in obtaining, interpreting and reporting data.
5. To refrain from making degrading remarks about fellow members or any insinuations tending to lower confidence in the waste treatment field. This does not preclude, however, rendering professional opinions on specific applications resulting from the endeavors of others.
6. To refrain from offering reduced fees knowingly, for services being performed by another competent person in this field.
7. To place service before gain, being truthful in all endeavors, and in humility with the need for divine guidance I make this pledge.
