As part of our effort to improve communications with the membership of Friends of Coal, the West Virginia Coal Association will launch a new online monthly newsletter, The Coal Seam, beginning in October. The publication will feature news of interest to the membership, stories about the efforts of individual members and groups in their respective communities as well as other features.
One feature will be the “Friend of the Month.” We are accepting nominees for that recognition now. Please contact us with your nomination at theadley@wvcoal.com.
The West Virginia Coal Association and Friends of Coal continue to host the Met-RX World’s Strongest Man Competition here in Charleston. During the past week, the association held a dinner at the Charleston Civic Center for contestants, families and staff.
The event drew more than 250 people and featured the barbequed ribs of Charleston Mayor Danny Jones.
The following day, production staff were taken on a tour of Andrew Jordon’s “Four-Mile Mine” in Kanawha County. The tour featured an up close and personal look at modern surface mining. Highlights of the two events will be featured on the ESPN broadcast of the competition later this year.
