United Veterans Council Slates Memorial Day Pilgrimage BY ANN MEAD ASH
he cancellation of last year’s Memorial Day Pilgrimage, a local tradition, was heartbreaking for organizers Alan Noll and Mike Martin. So heartbreaking in fact, that a small delegation representing the United Veterans Council of New Holland went forth to the locations reading a prayer and observing a moment of silence. “This started in 1922,” said Noll. “It’s our 99th year (in 2021),” added Martin, president of the United Veterans Council, who added that this year “everything is back to normal.” This year’s pilgrimage will be held on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, with members of the United Veterans Council, which includes representatives from the New Holland American Legion, the New Holland AMVETS, and the New Holland Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), organizing the event. Those joining in the pilgrimage are invited to gather at the American Legion Hall Post 662, located at 35 S. Hoover Ave., New Holland, at

6:30 a.m. The United Veterans Council will be joined by representatives of local organizations, including the Sons of the American Legion, the Legion Riders, and musicians from the New Holland Band. Veterans living in the area are invited to join the delegation and take part in the event. The public is also encouraged to attend each ceremony. As in the past, the delegation will visit area cemeteries, beginning with Ranck’s United Methodist Church at 7 a.m., followed by Cedar Grove Presbyterian at 7:15 a.m. and Bridgeville Evangelical Congregational Church at 7:30 a.m. From Bridgeville, the group will journey to Weaverland Mennonite Church at 7:45 a.m., Bowmansville Memorial Park at 8:15 a.m., and St. John’s Center Lutheran Church at 9 a.m. The group plans to arrive at Terre Hill Memorial Park at 9:15 a.m., followed by Voganville Cemetery at 10 a.m. The pilgrimage will continue to Groffdale Cemetery by 10:20 a.m. and Zeltenreich Reformed Church at 10:40 a.m. The group is scheduled to reach the Evangelical United

“Our club is a neat thing,” said Lori Stahl of the Lancaster County Beekeepers Society. “We have been around since the mid-1800s.” Stahl noted that at one time the organization changed its name to the Lancaster Honey Producers, but in the early 2000s, it was restored to the original name. “It has always been about beekeepers mentoring new beekeepers and being advocates for the honeybees,” she explained.
