FIRST ANNUAL MINER SKI/TUBING DAY

2/22/2022

0 Comments

 
The Miner team truly is the best team and we had the opportunity to be reminded of this on the slopes and tubing hill at Titus Mountain on Feb. 19 for the first -- of what hopefully becomes an annual event -- Miner Skiing/Tubing Day!  The Institute rented the maple room, which is adjacent to Titus Mountain's sugarhouse and offers a warm place to gear up and to warm up! Titus offers discounted rates for large groups, so everyone who participated was able to enjoy a day on the mountain at a discount! 
We had lots of snacks and drinks and most notably a fire pit that Dan Belrose built for the occasion.  Mike Lemza and his wife Colleen transported the fire pit and plenty of firewood along with the fixings for s'mores to feed a small army!! It was so great to gather around the fire and enjoy the company of our great team and some highly-sugared children! 
The only drawback to this incredible day was the snow squalls and whiteout conditions that made travel to and from the mountain pretty treacherous. We are so grateful to be part of an organization that knows how to have fun and to show appreciation to the most valuable assets -- our team!

Another Successful Cow Kissing Campaign!

2/14/2022

Along with veteran cow kisser John Bernardi -- the President and CEO of United Way of the Adirondack Region -- six other leaders and members of the regional business community gathered at Miner Institute for a Valentine's Day cow kissing event to mark the end of a successful campaign. 
​This year, Bernardi and his team suggested that the cow kissing event raise funds that will be targeted for youth mental health and suicide prevention initiatives. The goal was to raise $5,000, but the generous people of the North Country once again rallied and we raised more than $8,300! 
Four-year-old Holstein Alice is no stranger to smooches as she puckered up for last year's event as well.  Alice was kissed this year by Lee Rivers of Community Connections of Franklin County; Todd McCarthy of Lenny's Shoe and Apparel; Hannah Provost of Lomanto - Provost Financial Advisors; Collin McCullough of Northern Insuring Agency; Monticia Prather of Community Bank; and Gaelan Trombley of Kavanaugh Realty. 
Deena Giltz McCullough was also in attendance and as an alumnus of last year's event she came in for a kiss also. 
Partnering with the United Way of the Adirondack Region is such a great way to give back to our community and to help carry on the legacy of William and Alice Miner.
