In 1989, BEST extended its membership to include all men and women working for the City of Dallas. BEST conducts networking and career development events to enhance employees’ potential with the City. In addition t

Today, BEST proudly represented at the City of Dallas Juneteenth Flag Raising Ceremony as we joined City leadership, employees, and community members in honoring the significance of June 19, 1865.

We are especially proud of our Communications Chair, Nicole Mosley, who delivered remarks on behalf of BEST during this meaningful celebration of freedom, resilience, and progress.

Juneteenth reminds us of the strength and perseverance of those who came before us and inspires us to continue building a future rooted in unity, opportunity, and empowerment for all.

Thank you to the City of Dallas for hosting this important event and creating space to reflect on our shared history while looking ahead to the future we are building together.

❤️🖤💚 Happy Juneteenth!

Good afternoon Keep Dallas Beautiful Volunteers.

We are so excited to work with you to clean up 9th Street, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the City of Dallas. Your participation will make a real difference in keeping this community beautiful and thriving.

Community Clean Up Event Details:
📍 Starting Location: Greater El Bethel Baptist Church
🕘 Start Time: 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
📅 Date: November 8, 2025

On the day of the clean-up we will start at Greater El Bethel Baptist Church. After going through a 'Welcome' and 'Brief Orientation' volunteers will pick up litter along the way to one of our beautification projects, the Interurban Bridge Over Clarendon. Once there, volunteers are welcome to take a short break and tidy up the median area. Afterward, we will head toward Moore Street, located next to the Oak Cliff Cemetery, a significant Dallas landmark.
Once the clean is concluded, volunteers are allowed to join festivities taking place at Townview High School, which is located 5 minutes away (walking time) along 8th street. Townview will be hosting Fam Jam, an event for local Dallas high school students, their parents, and Dallas residents. Attendees can enjoy free performances, resource booths, and other activities.

Blue arrows indicate start of route, orange indicates end of clean up. The Blue Triangle is the church, the Blue Circle is Clarendon, and the Orange square is the Church at the end of the cleanup.
