Do not take the beauty of Fountain Hills for granted. Its vistas, its small town character and its ambience all are reasons we came here to live and raise a family.

I have listened closely to the four candidates and only one stands out as someone who will continue to cherish the heritage we share. And that person is Lina Bellenir.

I first met Lina when she and her husband owned Sorelli’s from the Vine. There are many fond memories of the many gatherings held there. Through the years Lina, her husband Vince and I have shared many quiet dinners and enlightening conversations. I can say there is nobody with a bigger heart.

In addition to her knowledge of all the issues facing Fountain Hills, what impresses me the most is her deep concern for our precious environment. That is why I am asking the residents to vote and support Lina Bellenir for Fountain Hills Town Council. She is the right person at the right time.
