The initial announcement of the West Virginia Friends of Coal license plate was sent to all Coal Bits recipients and the Friends of Coal data base last week and we have the beginning of our 250 initial applications being returned. If you did not receive or misplaced your application, you can find it on either WVCA’s or FOC’s websites: www.wvcoal.com or www.friendsofcoal.org. Or contact our office and it can be e-mailed directly to you. As per the instructions, the application MUST be completed in its entirety (every block completed) and returned to our office with a $70.00 check made payable to WV Coal Foundation. The new WV license plate has been designed to look about the same as Kentucky’s, Virginia’s and Tennessee’s plate so the FOC will have a resounding presence on the highway. Look forward to processing your application!
