On April 27, 22 young women from La Cañada Flintridge, Glendale and the surrounding area will be on the runway modeling clothing from Macy’s at the 73^rd Annual Tea and Fashion Show of the NCL, Inc. – Glendale Chapter. The fashion show will be attended by NCL, Inc. members, family and friends and held at the Hilton in Glendale starting at 2 p.m. 

The young women, or Ticktockers as they are known, began their NCL journey in the seventh grade working with their mothers, called patronesses, to support the chapter’s philanthropic partners. National Charity League provides experience in community service, leadership development and cultural experiences, which are the pillars of the program.

As high school juniors the girls participate in the long-standing annual tradition of the fashion show. This event teaches them to hone their presentation and public speaking skills. Most importantly, it builds confidence and celebrates teamwork. In preparation, the girls worked together to determine the theme, took lessons with a professional coach and collaborated on the event planning details.

The Glendale Chapter of NCL, Inc., was first organized in 1942 and became a chartered chapter of National Charity League, Inc. in 1958. It works with over 20 local philanthropies, supporting them with hands-on service. Through the mother-daughter relationship, National Charity League, Inc. develops strong women leaders serving and impacting communities today and for generations to come.
