NEW MEMORIAL PROJECT FOR THE WESTMORELAND YOUGH TRAIL CHAPTER
The WYTC bike trail chapter has just completed the building of a memorial consisting of two pavilions across from the West Newton railroad station. The pavilions will eventually have benches placed inside. The key aspect will be the project’s floor, a brick memorial funded by those who want to remember a loved one or special event. It will be a place for everyone to pause and reflect on that special person or time in their life. For as little as $100.00, each brick can include the names, statement, and graphic of your choosing. A gift that will honor something meaningful to you and keep on giving through your support of one of best trails in Western Pennsylvania.
We are pleased to announce that we are taking orders NOW for the memorial bricks!
