The following is a press release we received from the Belmont Center Business Association regarding Town Day:

The Belmont Center Business Association met on July 1 and discussed with the Town Day
Planning Committee the recent decision to exclude the town Republican and Democratic
organizations from Town Day 2025. Together, we’ve agreed to return to previous practices and are happy to welcome these groups in September as we have done in the past. We
apologize for the earlier decision, we intended no censorship, harm or malicious intent.

Town Day was envisioned in 1989 by Gerry Dickhaut as a gift to the Belmont Community, thanking them for their support of the Belmont center businesses. It has always been about bringing the Belmont community together, and we’re committed to making sure it
remains a welcoming event for all.

This beloved tradition is only possible thanks to the dedicated volunteer coordinators who pour their time and energy into making it happen each year—we’re so grateful for their
efforts. Gerry Dickhaut from Champions, a huge thanks for envisioning Town Day and your
35 years of tireless service bringing us together for Town Day.

Deran Muckjian, thank you for
continuing in Gerry's footsteps, and we know Town Day will be just as fun in year 37 as when it began in 1989!

To our customers and friends, thank you for your continued support—we look forward to seeing you on Leonard Street, September 14!

Sincerely,

Town Day Planning Committee
Belmont Center Business Association
