Say Hello at Meet Belmont, Tonight at 6 p.m.

Initially intended especially to welcome newcomers, the annual Meet Belmont has evolved into a town-wide event, engaging both to newcomers and more "seasoned" residents alike.

Now in its eighth year, Meet Belmont invites approximately 80 exhibitors to attend the event to explain their programs and answer questions, as guests move freely among the many tables, asking questions and gleaning information.

Meet Belmont is today, Thursday, Aug. 26, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at the Chenery Middle School cafeteria, 95 Washington St.

It is free and open to the public, and is fully accessible.

Representatives from town departments and Public Schools discuss their programs and give helpful information. Newcomers can register to vote and apply for a library card. Representatives from churches, organizations, clubs, advocacy groups, and committees attend. Programs for children include spokespersons for local nursery and pre-schools and activities such as Boy and Girl Scouts.

The event has been moved from the high school to Chenery Middle School so participants may enjoy an air conditioned environment. The entrance to the event will be from the Parking lot behind the building.
