Belvedere and Tiburon – You Made History!

On Sunday April 5, our communities made history!  The beautiful day brought our neighbors out onto the streets, brought them together, and together they experienced an old-fashioned Sunday walk.  We could not have asked for a better day or better participation from both Belvedere and Tiburon. 

We followed up that old-fashioned walk with a free lunch in the Park.  Walkers, strollers, dogs, scout troops, youth groups, and families had an amazing experience learning about our history at 36 ‘hot spots’ along the way.  Walk Your History was 100% Green and 100% Wonderful!  We have never been so proud to be a part of this community.  Thanks to….

• Nearly 1000 walkers;
• Over 100 volunteers and docents, many in period dress;
• 600 free lunches – thanks to our local volunteer fire department;
• Community booths from the Landmarks, Chamber of Commerce, Recreation, Police Departments, Get Ready 94920, and the Newcomers Group
• 300 “solar cooked” Chocolate Chip Cookies sold by Girl Scouts and the Green Team;
• 200 bags of trash picked up by our Cub Scouts and disposed of correctly; and
• Drinks and coffee served all day by the local Rotary.

The event was 100% Green, 100% Wonderful, and 100% Community.  We’d like to extend a special thanks to our sponsors:  City of Belvedere, Town of Tiburon, Tiburon Peninsula Foundation, Belvedere Community Foundation, Belvedere Tiburon Landmarks, Belvedere-Tiburon Recreation Department.  We couldn’t have done this without you.

We will do it again – Walk Your History – Part II –
Follow the feet to “Spring 2011″
