On May 11, 2023, the Pine Hills Seniors celebrated one of its founders and former President, Mrs. Sheila Belle. What started out as an opportunity for people to come together to socialize and have fun, the Pine Hills Seniors group has blossomed into an award-winning registered
501 (c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to "Empower our Seniors to Live Active, Healthy Lives."
The event hosted by the group's current President, Ms. Lorna Wilmoth, allowed attendees to "give Mrs. Belle her flowers." Ms. Wilmoth stated, "Mrs. Belle has inspired so many people in our community, and it was only fitting for us to come together to celebrate her contributions to the Pine Hills Seniors group." While Mrs. Belle will step down from performing her day-to-day administrative role, she will remain an active member of the group. The event featured a Proclamation, musical selections, reflections from friends, and a delicious meal complemented by beautiful decorations. The Midtown Press would like to recognize and honor Mrs. Belle's dedication and commitment to the community.
