Belles presented

The Birmingham Belles 46th annual Garden Party Presentation was held recently at the Country Club of Birmingham. 

The Birmingham Belles is a service organization whose purpose is to give senior high school girls the opportunity and experience of volunteerism and civic responsibility as they gain knowledge about their community. The young ladies presented will be visible at city functions throughout the year. This past year the Birmingham Belles served more than 650 hours.

Their volunteer opportunities include: Arlington Summer Luncheons; delivering cookies baked from Belle recipes to assisted living homes; Birmingham Museum of Art’s Christmas at Arlington; Big Oak Ranch’s Decorators’ Show House; Mystics Halloween Parade; Mountain Brook Art Association Art Show; Mountain Brook Christmas Parade; the Birmingham Zoo, Childcare Resources Fairy Tale Ball; and Bargain Carousel by the Junior League of Birmingham. 

This year, Miss Rhea Fonde Nathan and Miss Margaret Fischer Pitman were the recipients of the 2014 Scholarship Fund, which has been established to honor Birmingham Belle founder, the late Mrs. James Mallory Kidd Jr.
