September and October are busy months in the store and in taking care of a little housekeeping with insurance, 401k, scholarship fund drives, employee buy, and more.
In keeping with the reduce, reuse, recycle initiative, each employee will receive a reusable L.L.Bean tote bag to make shopping at the Mast Store, and other places you do business, more convenient while creating less waste.
A new employee completed their paperwork and had their first day at the Mast Store. And then, five years, ten years, and more flew by. Happy anniversary to Bridget Shaughnessy, Jonathan Connolly, Brett Willis, Noelle Charles, and Beth Marlow, who are celebrating their milestone years in September.
Each year around September/October, the Mast Store employees begin their annual scholarship fund drive to support the John E. Cooper, III Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship started in 1998 as a Christmas gift to John and Faye Cooper and a way to remember their son, John. In keeping with that tradition, each year since then, a gift to the scholarship fund has become our Christmas gift to the two of them. Ultimately, it is a gift back to the Mast Store Family.
October is our entry date for the 401k and ESOP plans. Newly eligible employees will receive notification soon. Employees already enrolled in the 401k plan can change their contribution amounts beginning with the October 12 pay date.
Mast Store has several partnerships with local attractions including Biltmore Estate and Tweetsie Railroad. Here are the details you need to take advantage of the special rates for these attractions.
