The San Dieguito Chapter of the National Charity League recently gathered for its cherished Mother-Daughter Chapter Tea, an annual tradition hosted this year by the Class of 2030 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel Del Mar. More than 260 chapter members — Patronesses and Ticktockers in grades 7 through 12 — came together to celebrate service, leadership, and the special bond at the heart of NCL, according to a news release.
With the theme “Tea Among the Stars – Shining together in Service,” the event highlighted NCL’s core values while offering an opportunity to practice etiquette and connection. Guests enjoyed an inspiring presentation by special guest speaker Erica Rood, M.A. Ed., titled “The Heart of Leadership: A Mother-Daughter Workshop on Confident Leadership,” which encouraged meaningful reflection and shared growth, the news release stated.
Families with a current 6th-grade daughter who are interested in learning more about the National Charity League are invited to contact Brooke Beros at Membershipsandieguito@nclonline.org.
