The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Friends of Coal is so honored to make our second appearance before the West Virginia Coal Association and to let all of you know that we have recently celebrated our first anniversary.
When we attended this conference last year we were in the first stages of organization. We had many comments from skeptics that warned us how hard it would be to keep a volunteer group enthusiastic and committed to working for change. However, as the old adage says “Never underestimate the power of a woman!”
Why should I join the Friends of Coal?
There are two main reasons:
1. Informed supporters. Through word-of-mouth, direct mail and the Internet, members of the Friends of Coal will receive information about the coal industry and its importance to West Virginia. This information will also include updates on the activities of the group and upcoming events.
2. Grassroots recruitment. As a member of the Friends of Coal, it is vital to the success of the group that each member also recruit family members, neighbors and fellow workers to join, whether or not they are directly involved in the coal industry.
How do I join?
We need your help, not your money. To join, all you have to do is fill out the form below. You'll be part of growing team that's working across West Virginia and in other states to increase our membership and show the "strength in numbers" that our coal industry has through bumper stickers, events and making our voice heard in the mass media.
