Sorting Books, Building Bright Futures, Working Together in the Community
Mount Vernon, Ohio — The residents at Pine Hill Independent Living, on the campus of The Ohio Eastern Star Home, recently put their hands to work to be part of a local community effort!
Residents gathered to sort, by grade level, books that were collected by the Kiwanis Club of Mount Vernon to benefit the newly built Salvation Army Day Care Center in Mount Vernon.
From picture books to early readers and beyond, these books will help fill little hands with stories, imagination, and opportunities to learn. What a great example of how our community comes together to make a difference, one book at a time!
A big thank-you to the Kiwanis Club of Mount Vernon for this wonderful book collection and to our Pine Hill residents for lending their time and helping prepare these books for their new young readers!
Together, we’re helping build a brighter future for the children in our community!

Kentucky Derby Watch Party at Pine Hill
What a fantastic evening at Pine Hill Independent Living as residents gathered for a festive Kentucky Derby Watch Party!
The excitement started earlier in the week when many of our ladies attended a special workshop to create their own beautiful fascinators—and they truly stole the show with their creativity and style!
Our incredible catering team, Amy and Arya, along with our host for the evening, Sales Director Dave Antle (who kept the mint juleps flowing), treated everyone to a delicious spread. Residents enjoyed classic Brown Derby sandwiches, chicken and waffle sliders, and a variety of special treats and desserts that made the night feel extra celebratory.
The fun didn’t stop there—a photo booth captured so many wonderful moments, filled with laughter, smiles, and Derby-day flair!
It was an evening full of great food, great company, and great memories. Events like these are what make life at Pine Hill so special!

Exploring the State Parks of Ohio
Pine Hill Independent Senior Living was delighted to host a recent seminar on Exploring the State Parks of Ohio right here on the campus of The Ohio Eastern Star Home!
A special thank you to Ohio Department of Natural Resources Naturalist Hanna Humphrey—a graduating senior at Mount Vernon Nazarene University—who did a fantastic job showcasing the unique beauty and features of Mohican State Park and Hocking Hills State Park. She also highlighted hidden gems and special experiences found in parks across our great state.
And did you know? Ohio has been ranked #1 in the nation for its state parks!
Our guests were attentive, curious, and fully engaged, especially during the Q&A session, where thoughtful questions and shared experiences created a lively and enjoyable discussion. One lucky guest even took home a fun door prize!
We’re excited to see many of our attendees take what they learned and head out to enjoy Ohio’s incredible natural spaces this summer. Whether it’s hiking scenic trails, discovering waterfalls, or simply soaking in the beauty of the outdoors, adventure awaits!
