Gastonia Event

More than 75 people came to the Gastonia Cool Cities Event! Photos by Chatham Olive.
Yesterday's Gastonia Cool Cities event was very successful with more than 75 people in attendance! Media coverage was provided by News 14 Carolina and the Gastonia Gazette, although I don't have links.

One of the highlights of the morning was a group of preschool children, looking 'cool' in their sunglasses, giving a poem they 'wrote' about why Gastonia is a Cool City. You can see pictures of them here on the City of Gastonia's website.


Local Sierra Club member Carol Klein made the formal presentation of the Cool Cities plaque to Mayor Jennie Stultz.

It was also a pleasure to meet Mayor Jennie Stultz. She is one of the most friendly and committed Mayors I have met through the Cool Cities program. Gastonia is lucky to have her leadership!
