National Charity League Inc Turtle Creek Chapter

THE MISSION IS TO INITIATE AND PROMOTE CHARITABLE ENDEAVORS, TO FOSTER THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP, AND TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS, CULTURAL AWARENESS AND PHILANTHROPIC EXPERIENCES FOR GIRLS IN GRADES 7-12.

ANNUAL SENIOR RECOGNITION EVENT. THIS EVENT IS A LONG-STANDING NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE TRADITION DESIGNED TO CELEBRATE THE GRADUATING SENIOR CLASS BY HIGHLIGHTING THEIR YEARS OF SERVICE AS MEMBERS OF THE CHAPTER. ALL MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE EVENT, AND SENIORS MAY INVITE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS. THE YOUNGER CLASSES ARE INSPIRED BY ALL OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS, AND THEY LOOK FORWARD TO THEIR OWN PARTICIPATION. SPEAKERS AT THE EVENT INCLUDED CHAPTER OFFICERS, AND COMMITTEE CHAIRS. LIGHT BITES WERE SERVED DURING THE PROGRAM. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE EVENT IS FOR EACH SENIOR TO REFLECT ON HER COMMUNITY SERVICE, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES AS WELL AS FOR THE CLASS AS A WHOLE, WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF ACCOMPLISHING THEIR SIX- YEAR PLAN AND BE BETTER PREPARED FOR THE NEXT STAGE IN THEIR LIVES.

ANNUAL MOTHER/DAUGHTER TEA, AWARDS AND INSTALLATION CEREMONY. THE TEA IS AN NCL TRADITION FROM THE EARLY DAYS, AND CONTINUES AS AN IMPORTANT EVENT AS WE INSTALL NEW TICKTOCKERS, PATRONESSES, AND BOARD MEMBERS, AS WELL AS PRESENT AWARDS FOR VARIOUS LEVELS OF PHILANTHROPIC SERVICE COMPLETED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IT IS A SOCIAL EVENT WHERE A LIGHT MEAL IS SERVED WITH THE TEA AND SERVES AS A CELEBRATION OF THE YEAR'S SERVICE TO VARIOUS PHILANTHROPIES AS WELL AS STRENGTHENING BONDS BETWEEN MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, AND PEERS.

ANNUAL TICKTOCKER DAY & GRADE LEVEL EVENTS. THE TICKTOCKERS KICKED OFF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR WITH THEIR ANNUAL TICKTOCKER DAY, WHICH IS A RETREAT FOR THE DAUGHTERS IN THE ORGANIZATION. EACH TICKTOCKER FAMILY SPENT SOME TIME GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER, PLANNING EVENTS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR, AND LEARNING MORE ABOUT OUR PHILANTHROPIES. THERE WAS A GUEST SPEAKER. THE GIRLS ALSO BROUGHT DONATIONS FOR NEW FRIENDS/NEW LIFE AND ATTITUDES AND ATTIRE, TWO NON-PROFIT AGENCIES DEDICATED TO HELPING YOUNG GIRLS ESCAPE SEX TRAFFICKING, RAISE SELF ESTEEM, AND PROVIDE FOR SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THE TICKTOCKERS WERE TRAINED ON THEIR COMMITTEE POSITIONS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR TO HELP CULTIVATE THEIR LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND COMMUNITY INVOLVMENT.
