Our History |
In
1925, a small group of women interested in philanthropic work founded the
Charity League in Los Angeles. The women worked together to make layettes
and to deliver 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 present name, Patronesses.
The newly formed group decided to expand its activities beyond philanthropic
work to include social and cultural events. NCL was incorporated in 1958. In 1959, the first “Chapter Day” was held, and the first NCL Convention was held the following year. These meetings brought the growing membership together for an exchange of ideas and support. Today, NCL continues to carry out its mission: to perpetuate courtesy, love, and concern for others. Through our work today, we hope to make the world a better place tomorrow. For more information on the National Charity League please visit the national website at www.nationalcharityleague.org |
