The FOC Ladies Auxiliary went to Mabscott Elementary and delivered two metal cabinets with clothing for many of the area children as the school is considered one of the poorest in the county and is in need of additional outside assistance.
They have also completed two weeks of their "Coal in the Classroom". They have two aids in each classroom who are taking in everything said, so they are educating adults, as well.
They received a very nice "Thank You" from the state garden clubs for their donations for their state meeting. They are getting around.
The last Wednesday of May, they will have classes from St. Francis and Sts. Peter and Paul at the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine for the day and will furnish each student with hard hats, shirts, tour of the camp, ride through the mine and lunch.
The first week of June they have four hundred third graders from Logan County coming to the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They, too, will have hard hats, shirts, the tour of the camp and a ride through the mine, plus lunch. This is part of the Brickstreet Project. The ladies will be ready for a break!!
