The Pasadena Area Chapter of National Charity League celebrated the 2018 senior Ticktockers at the recent Rose Gala Presentation Ball at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.
More than 300 guests attended the formal presentation of 18 senior Ticktockers to friends and family in the Biltmore’s Crystal Ballroom. This NCL tradition, emceed by Mark Kim, included an introduction of each girl’s mother and escort followed by the presentation of each young woman as she stepped through a floral-laden arch created by Drew Domenghini of Patterson’s Topiaries.
Again this year, each Ticktocker was gifted and wore an NCL medallion from Mimi et Cie and then swept around the ballroom on the arm of her father or escort while the orchestra played a song selected by each young woman. After a group curtsy from the ballroom’s balconies, the presentees joined their fathers or escorts on the dance floor for the traditional father-daughter waltz. The event was chaired by Jeehyun Lee.
The young women were recognized for their six years of NCL community service in the Pasadena area and their commitment to leadership.
“Our chapter is extremely proud of our 2018 seniors and inspired by their committed volunteer service of more than 16,500 hours in the Pasadena area over the past six years,” said NCL Pasadena President Susan Blaisdell. “Each are accomplished young ladies who have improved our community, developed strong leadership skills and broadened their awareness of diversity and culture. We know they will continue to make a difference and wish each of them much success and happiness in the future.”
