The National Charity League and Euro Star Productions once again convened to commemorate and capture more memories. Families gathered from near and far to celebrate and honor The Ticktocker Class of 2005. The commencement was facilitated at the beautiful Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.
The event was orchestrated by Michelle Fingert. This year’s theme was "No matter how far we travel, we will always be California Girls!" Congratulations to the graduating NCL class 2005. Your tireless hard work and diligence is greatly appreciated by your communities.

"The mantle of volunteerism and leadership which you pass on to this next generation has been created by hands, once awkward and unknowing, which are now quite nimble, expressive and strong." - Jinky Hicks, National Council President 2003-05

History:
In 1925, a small group of women interested in philanthropic work founded the Charity League in Los Angeles. They worked quietly, doing Red Cross work, making layettes and assembling and delivering baskets of food to the hungry at holiday times. Sometimes they brought their daughters with them. By 1938, so many daughters had become involved that they decided to form their own group. They called themselves the Ticktockers.
In 1947, these groups united to become the first mother-daughter charity and took their present name, National Charity League. At that time, the mothers also took their name, Patronesses. The newly formed group decided to expand its program beyond philanthropic work to include educational and cultural activities.
NCL was reorganized and incorporated as National Charity League, Inc. in 1958. The first "Chapter Day" was held in 1959; the first NCL Convention was held the following year. These meetings brought the growing membership together for an exchange of ideas and support.
