Board of Directors

Regina Fairchild, Chairwoman of the Ladies Auxiliary, resenting one of the many door prizes given away by the Ladies Auxiliary at the recent Women's Expo in Beckley. This was one of the many baskets put ogether and donated by the members of the Ladies Auxiliary. The winner of his basket was Joshua Boyd.

The Beckley Chapter of the Ladies Auxiliary represented the industry in a ery positive light at the Women's Expo recently held in Beckley. They handed out a lot of information about our industry and signed up over 500 new members of the Friends of Coal. All of the feedback was positive, the general feeling was that people are becoming more aware of the importance of coal to our state and to our nation. 

The Ladies Auxiliary recently had an information booth at the Bluefield Coal Show which was a great success. We raffled off a compound bow which was won by Brandon Twyman of Sesco Data and a weekend retreat that was won by Gary Dotson of Hurley, Virginia.
 
We also had a booth at Chili night in Beckley, another great success. We gave away water and bake goods along with stickers and information on coal and its importance to West Virginia. We provided stick on temporary tattoos for the kids, and a few for adults, which were another great success.

What we have planned:

• Plans to purchase and distribute “Mr. Coal” stuffed dogs for children in the hospital and perhaps nursing homes.
• Currently putting together a cookbook, if people have a favorite “coal camp” recipe we want them to email it in.
• We are now representing Sweeteez, the makers of Coal Cookies. They look like coal and taste like cookies and would make great gifts. Contact us for more information.
• We're also planning a limited edition Christmas ornament and a spring golf outing.

Membership is of course free.
