| The Lamorinda and Acalanes Chapters of National Charity League celebrated their graduating seniors from the class of 2011.
National Charity League, Inc. is a mother-daughter non-profit organization dedicated to serving local communities. There are two chapters located in Lamorinda, with members drawn from all three communities; the Lamorinda chapter was organized in 1989 with the Acalanes chapter following two years later. Participation begins in 7th grade and continues through the senior year. The girls are honored for their many hours of philanthropic work volunteering at The American Cancer Society, California Shakespeare, Juvenile Diabetes, Smiley Dog and Special Olympics among others. These volunteer activities initiate a lifelong commitment to community service and deepen the bond between mother and daughter through these shared activities.
