NCDOT Distinguished 30-Year Star Award presented to Carol Mowers
By Tom Brueckner Director, # 6156 Life
On September 16th the NC Department of Transportation recognized the NCBBA for its participation in the Adopt-A-Highway Program which began May of 1991 by acknowledging our commitment to preserving the beauty and cleanliness of North Carolina roadsides. The NCDOT awarded us the 30-Year distinguished Star award and two 30-Year stars for our Adopt-A-Highway signs. In the letter to us is stated, “Nearly 5,000 Adopt-A-Highway groups have adopted approximately 10,000 miles of state-minded roads. Last year approximately 30,000 volunteers from all 100 counties picked up nearly 700,000 pounds of litter. Adopt-A-Highway volunteers save the taxpayers millions of dollars annually in roadside cleanup costs! This success would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of volunteers like you”.
The NCBBA’s A-A-H program proudly covers Highway 12 beginning just south of the Marc Basnight Bridge to ½ mile north of the Coquina Beach Ramp #2 entrance, a 2.5-mile stretch doing both sides of the road. Director Carol Mowers #10999 along with her husband, Dave Mowers #11935 head up the program. You all probably know Carol as our membership and merchandise Director, but she is extremely dedicated to our Adopt-A-Highway program and has managed the AAH program for a number of years. The NCBBA proudly presented the 30-Year Distinguished Star Award to Carol Mowers at our November board meeting for her dedication and hard work.
