NEW MEMORIAL PROJECT FOR THE WESTMORELAND YOUGH TRAIL CHAPTER
Coming this spring, the chapter will be erecting a memorial consisting of two pavilions with benches across from the GAP - West Newton railroad station and Visitor's Center. A future sculpture will be added to enhance the project and make the area a destination point. The key aspect, however, 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.
The anticipated completion of the memorial will be in June. You may order your memorial brick this Spring!
Watch for more information!

President's Message
It is an honor and challenge to become President of WYTC in 2022. I have enjoyed the trail for so many years as a place to exercise, walk, bike, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Becoming a member of the WYTC has been extremely rewarding, working with folks who are dedicated to have a super trail. We are planning all our events in 2022 including the Poker Run and Run/Walk.
As membership chair I will be recruiting new members and renewing our current ones. Trail Appreciation Day will be in June. Our new project this year is a Memorial Pavilion at the West Newton Station with benches and with bricks underneath where folks can buy a brick to honor a loved one, see their name on the trail, or any other tribute they may like. The trail use has increased considerably in the last two years and as folks see the benefit, I see it continuing going forward.
