Latrobe Elks Lodge & Golf Club

To our members: Lodge meetings are the first Monday of each month at 7:30 PM.

Latrobe Elks Lodge 907 will be partnering with the Derry Area School District Foundation to introduce the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to the residents of Derry Area. Thanks to a grant from the ELKS Grand Lodge we will be able to provide a book a month to every child registered in the program free of charge to the family. No one should be denied the ability to read and experience the enjoyment of a book because of a lack of financial means. This is one of the largest c...ommunity oriented projects 907 has ever undertaken. Once enrolled in the program every child from birth to five will receive an age appropriate book monthly. The book will be personalized specifically for that child and mailed directly to their door. The Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics states that reading aloud to children at a young age can positively impact a child’s brain development. Ninety percent (90%) of that development occurs in the first three (3) years of life. The single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational success is an introduction to books and being read to at home prior to beginning school. A love of books and reading offers the foundation for literacy skills that set children up for future success. As a parent or caregiver, reading with your child creates a bond that lasts a lifetime. With the holiday season approaching, what better gift to give than the mystery, adventure, wonder and amazement found in reading. And its free. Register your child to receive a book a month from the Imagination Library. Registration forms are available at the Elks Pro shop, Grandview Elementary School or visit the Imagination Library website link below. https://imaginationlibrary.com/check-availability/ Pictured: Sarah Mikeska, president of DASD Foundation; David McCleary, Foundation board member; Barbie Jones, DASD Early Childhood Liaison; Chuck Vogel, Elks treasurer; Ray Zsolcsak, Latrobe Elks 907 Exalted Ruler.

Good luck to pro shop employees and junior members Ryan, Bryce, Nick, Hunter, Ashton and Antonio as the compete in the WPIAL AA Finals for the Derry Trojans at Cedarbrook tomorrow.

Fall is upon us, but there is still plenty of golf left to play. The course is eye catching this time of the year.
