The Conejo Valley Chapter of the National Charity League (NCL) introduced its 2009 Debutantes as part of its annual New Member and Debutante Announcement Tea on Sun., May 17 at Sherwood Country Club. The Debutantes along with the Senior Ticktockers have contributed more than 9,400 collective hours during their six-year membership in NCL.

Incoming new Ticktockers and their mothers were also presented.

National Charity League is a nonprofit, motherdaughter organization supporting local community agencies and charities.

The Conejo Valley Chapter assists more than 13 philanthropies in this area. The organization raises funds through its annual Day of Giving fundraiser and its Thousand Oaks Thrift Shop, Fibber McGee's Closet.

Money raised is distributed among the philanthropies. In addition, college scholarships are awarded to young women at local high schools. Working together, mothers and daughters experience the rewards of volunteering their time and energy to help others. Girls typically enter the program as seventh-graders and continue through their senior year, when they may choose to become a Debutante. This year's Debutantes have made a large contribution to Conejo Valley. In celebration of their six years of service, they'll be presented at the Conejo Valley Chapter's National Charity League Ball in November at the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake Village. The National Charity League Debutantes and Senior Ticktockers for 2009 are:
