DUTCH MILLER OF RIPLEY We kicked off our Family Gathering a week early to celebrate the much-anticipated retirement of the one and only Toby Painter! Toby, you’ll be incredibly missed by everyone here! We treated Toby and the crew to a delicious send-off and thank you. We enjoyed some mouthwatering pulled pork BBQ, baked beans, and mac and cheese from Bowles Boyz. Plus, Cheryl Durst wowed us with three amazing desserts, topped off with an ice cream cake for her birthday! Big shoutouts to our Salespersons of the Month for June 2024: Austin Fisher for Ford and Chuck Hicks for Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. And a special congratulations to our Employee of the Month for July 2024: none other than Toby Painter! We’re so thankful for everyone who made this celebration unforgettable! I-79 HONDA This year marks the 20th anniversary of our Car & Cash Giveaway event. From the first event until now, we’ve given away 21 brand‑new Hondas. All proceeds benefit the Stepping Stones Recreation Facility for people with disabilities in Morgantown. To learn more about this amazing nonprofit, visit www.steppingstoneswv.org. A total of 2,500 tickets will be sold with 1,000+ people attending the live event. This year, Jim Justice will be with Baby Dog, of course. He is donating over $1 million to add an all-inclusive playground — which Stepping Stones Director Monica Martin-Marietta has been working hard to get. “My dad was on the board at Stepping Stones for 20 years, and recently, I’ve taken his seat there,” said Rachel Puccio, operations manager at I-79 Honda. “We have been able to raise $60-$90,000 for Stepping Stones each year with this event, and they’ve been able to use those funds to put in swimming pools, a miracle field baseball field and hold all types of special programs and activities for the disability center.” DAN CAVA’S TOYOTA WORLD Dan Cava Toyota World celebrated 21 years!
