Westmoreland Lodge
No. 518 F.& A. M. Brethren and Friends, It is my pleasure to announce to you this year's Westmoreland Lodge charity beneficiary. Westmoreland Lodge No. 518 will support the Westmoreland County 4-H Livestock Exhibition and Education Center which is under construction at the Westmoreland County Fairgrounds. The new "William C. Kelly Center" will be used by young people involved in the 4-H Junior Livestock Program, which has grown by 300% in the last ten years. The late William C. Kelly for which the building is named was a member of Loyalhanna Lodge No. 275 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and an active 4-H member. This new structure will be permanent and will provide a year round facility for the education of animal science projects. Brethren, and friends, I am asking for donations to this worthwhile cause. In 1998, the Lodge raised over $11,000.00 in support of a new handicapped medical facility for the Boy Scouts. Remember that all contributions are appreciated, and will be greatly beneficial to this area's 4-H program. Please send your check made out to Westmoreland Lodge No. 518, to the secretary at the above address on or before October 22, 1999. We hope to present the gift in November or December. Sincerely and Fraternally, Anthony Daversa, W.M. |

At the June 1999 Stated Meeting, Westmoreland Lodge approved the donation of $100.00 to Westmoreland Chapter, Order of DeMolay. The check was presented to Lee R. Terrill, Master Councilor, and son of Brother Richard Terrill, by Bro. Anthony Daversa, Worshipful Master at our June Stated Meeting. Better communication has been a recent goal for Westmoreland Lodge and Westmoreland Chapter, with several members of our lodge acting as Advisors to the DeMolay chapter, we hope this greater communication will continue to grow. Westmoreland Chapter presented a program for our May Stated Meeting preforming some of the ritual work of DeMolay for the members of our lodge. Currently, Westmoreland Chapter, Order of DeMolay meets on the first and third Sunday of each month at 7:00 PM in the lodge room of the Greensburg Masonic Center. We invite all members of the lodge to attend a DeMolay meeting whenever possible. The positive examples we as Freemasons can demonstrate to these young men will leave a lasting impression.
