individuals to develop their highest potential in order to build

cultural and educational programs, along with opportunities for
personal growth; and

members by giving them an opportunity to serve their community
through projects and programs that make a difference in the lives
of children, youth and our neighbors in need of assistance; and

of West Virginia since June 1873; therefore, be it
