The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County was created by resolution of the Westmoreland County Commissioners on April 9, 1942, and celebrated its 75th year in business in 2017. The drinking water system of the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County was developed over the past 75+ years through the strategic acquisition of established systems and planned water line extensions to accommodate growth. In 1943, MAWC acquired Citizens Water Co. In 1950, MAWC acquired Westmoreland Water Co. and Vandergrift Water Co. and started planning to build today's Beaver Run Reservoir. McKeesport's Water System was purchased in 1987. As a result of these and other acquisitions and expansions, the potable water service area as now comprised extends approximately 25 miles from east to west and 40 miles from north to south and incorporates over 2,400 miles of pipeline. The MAWC also sells bulk water to Duquesne, Monroeville, and Plum in Allegheny County; Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania American and Pleasant Valley in Fayette County; and Parks and Gilpin in Armstrong County. The wastewater system now serves Jeannette, Hempfield Township and the Boroughs of Penn, Youngwood, Ligonier, White Oak, and Avonmore, as well as parts of the City of Greensburg, East Huntingdon, North Huntingdon, Penn, Sewickley, and Unity townships.

The Islamic Society of North America has served the Muslims of this continent for well over forty years. During this period ISNA has provided many invaluable services to the Muslim community of North America. Most manifest of course, is the ISNA Annual Convention, which, since its very inception has been a meeting place of people and ideas. In addition to building bridges of understanding and cooperation within the diversity that is Islam in America, ISNA is now playing a pivotal role in extending those bridges to include all people of faith within North America. Less well known, and yet critically important are our efforts that go beyond the Muslim community in North America to include projects that are often more humanitarian than theological, more global than national, and altogether more complex and nuanced. These include efforts to stop the human tragedy in Darfur, for instance, or to alleviate the plight of those hit by the Tsunami in South East Asia, or to work with state and civic structures in addressing the challenges that Muslims in the West face. Your membership in ISNA helps keep our vision alive, and your contributions, both material as well as moral, help sustain the projects so vital to our survival and development in this part of the globe. We thank you for your support in the past, and count on even greater support for our future projects. Secretary General Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)

We are a big tent organization that recognizes the rich and full diversity of the American Muslim community in race, sex, place of birth, ability, income, education, gender identity, sexual orientation, sect of worship and level of religiosity. We ensure that American Muslims have a seat at the table with expert representation so that all Americans may live free from hate and discrimination.
