Forty-two sophomores joined the Hoover Belles during a presentation ceremony at the Riverchase Country Club in Hoover on May 7.
The Hoover Belles, a service organization for teen girls who serve as representatives for the city, held its 40th annual presentation ceremony for new inductees at the Riverchase Country Club this spring.
Forty-two high school sophomore girls from Hoover, Spain Park, Briarwood Christian and John Carroll Catholic high schools were presented.
Each member of the new class of Belles has committed to serve two years, volunteering at least 40 community service hours at civic and charity events.
Each Hoover Belle was escorted into a garden gazebo decorated with pastel pink, blue and white hydrangeas, pink roses and spray roses and foliage. Hoover Mayor Frank Brocato welcomed them, their family and friends.
Former Hoover Belle Haley Scallions served as mistress of ceremonies and introduced the Hoover Belle Committee: chairwoman Donna Bagwell and committee members Jennie Alley, Jaime Guess, Cathy Head, Barbara Henry, Melinda King, Shelley Shaw, Lisa Whitson and Kay Witt.
After the Belles were presented, they danced to the music of the Dave Amaral Trio.
