The National Charity League, Inc., Azalea Chapter honored its graduating seniors at its annual Senior Recognition in early January at<br />
the Sugarland Marriott. At the dinner and dance, attended by family and friends, chapter members celebrated the accomplishments<br />
of each of the girls in the Azalea Class of <strong>2018</strong> and recognize her contributions to the community during her six years of service in The<br />
National Charity League (NCL) program. The seniors are students at Cinco Ranch High School, Seven Lakes High School, Taylor High<br />
School, Tompkins High School and Faith West High School.<br />
The mission of the NCL is to foster mother daughter relationships in a philanthropic organization committed to community service,<br />
leadership development and cultural experiences. The Azalea Chapter was formed in 1999 and in the past year its members have served<br />
over 10,000 volunteer hours in support of 24 charitable organizations in the Katy area.<br />
