| | | | | | The Acalanes Area Chapter of National Charity League - a mother-daughter non-profit organization dedicated to serving local communities - once again celebrated their graduating seniors during the 2013 Senior Celebration Program Feb. 23 at the Claremont Hotel.
Nationally, there are over 175 chapters committed to fostering the mother-daughter relationship through philanthropic, leadership and cultural activities. Membership in the Acalanes Area Chapter is drawn from the Lamorinda communities of Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda. Participation begins in seventh grade and continues through the senior year of high school. The girls are honored for their many hours of philanthropic work volunteering at Foster-A-Dream, Lafayette Library, California Shakespeare, Juvenile Diabetes, Bay Area Rescue Mission, and Special Olympics, among others. The Class of 2013 put in over 2,700 volunteer hours during their years in our Chapter.
These volunteer activities combined with activities focused on leadership development and cultural awareness, form the three pillars of National Charity League, and help to initiate a lifelong commitment to community service and deepen the bond between mother and daughter.
