Twenty-three young women from La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Glendale, Los Feliz and the surrounding areas will be honored by the Glendale Chapter of National Charity League, Inc. at the 75^th annual Senior Presentation Ball to be held at the Sheraton Universal Hotel on March 7.

The Senior Presentation is a tradition for the Glendale Chapter, highlighting and thanking the Class of 2026 for its 5,939 hours of community service. The young women, or Ticktockers as they are known, began their NCL journey in seventh grade, working with their mothers, called patronesses, to support the chapter’s philanthropic partners. Over the years, the class volunteered at American Red Cross, Arroyos and Foothills, Ascencia, Door of Hope, La Cañada Tournament of Roses, Operation Gratitude, Pasadena Humane Society, Twelve Oaks Senior Living, Union Station, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital, YWCA of Glendale, the Chapter’s annual rummage sale and more.   

“The Senior Presentation Ball celebrates the culmination of each Ticktocker’s six years of community service, leadership development and cultural experiences, which are the pillars of our program. Family and friends will gather with chapter members to recognize the Ticktockers’ accomplishments, volunteer service and the mother-daughter bond that is the cornerstone of NCL. They have truly embraced the spirit of NCL and we look forward to their exciting and successful futures,” said Chapter President Keisha Wilcox.

The Ball will include a welcome from Ticktocker Samantha Drobis, president of the Class of 2026, and from Grade Level Advisors Jill Longo and Vero Shamo-Garcia. The Class has chosen the theme Once Upon a Time, and an accompanying theme song “Vienna” by Billy Joel. The evening will include the presentation of each Ticktocker, the father-daughter waltz, the senior service awards and a farewell toast. The chairs of the Presentation Ball are Tiffany Morgan along with the class committee chairs Tricia Riesberg and Stacy Lee. The mistress of ceremonies for the Ball will be Laura Baker.
