2009 Keep Belmont Beautiful City Pride Day
We had 140 volunteers that signed in for City Pride Day. David Isenhour, Director of Public Works, reports that our total for bulk trash was 15.7 tons. Volunteers picked up 257 bags of debris, these bags totaled about 2 tons of trash. Good news there was less trash than other years and we covered 22 of our overall target 30 areas. We believe our city is cleaner from public awareness and volunteers that picked up litter during the year.
Volunteers were from Belmont Abbey College, Reid Community, ROTC from South Point High School, Town & Country Garden Club, Gaston County Sheriff's Department, Boy Scout Troops from FUMC , First Presbyterian Church and Park Street Methodist Church as well as numerous citizens of Belmont.
Volunteers returned to Stowe Park for a hot dog lunch, received a tee shirt, food coupons were provided by Chick fil la and McDonald's with music provided by Belmont Abbey. Co chairpersons of the event were Vernon Abernathy and Elizabeth Atterberry. Sponsors included Ray McKenney Dealerships, Community One Bank, First National Bank, 3 Hip Chicks, Belmont Bicycles, New Bridge Children's Academy, McLean Funeral Directors, Complete Eye Care, Hannon Orthodontics, Cottage Keepers, Watson Insurance Agency, Edward Jones - Don Hartsoe, Wal-Mart of Belmont, Caromont Medical Group, School Resources, Sportsman Screen Printing, The UPS Store, Walgreen's.
