The Belgian city of Namur is sending a sister city delegation to Belmont on Tuesday April 29. Namur is the location of the motherhouse for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, the founders of Notre Dame de Namur University (formerly College of Notre Dame), which has been in Belmont since 1923. The delegation is composed of city officials, representatives of business, school and the press.

The day will include a breakfast with city officials, a city tour, a luncheon and campus tour hosted by NDNU, and a reception in Ralston Hall Mansion on NDNU's campus. The formal program begins at 5 p.m. in Ralston Hall Mansion, during which the key to the city will be presented. The delegation will also meet with the Sister City Committee to discuss ideas for the two communities' relationship.
