National Charity League Folsom chapter celebrates Mother-Daughter Tea, Senior Recognition

The Folsom Chapter of National Charity League, Inc. (NCL), the nation's premier mother-daughter volunteer organization, held its annual Mother-Daughter Tea and Senior Recognition on March 30 at the Granite Bay Golf Club. In attendance were more than 190 members of the Folsom chapter, which includes mothers and daughters in grades 7-12. The tea is an annual tradition dating to 1947 and serves as a framework to cultivate NCL's core values and strengthen the mother-daughter bond while practicing the art of etiquette. The graduating class of 2025 was honored during their Senior Recognition with acknowledgment of completing the six-year core program from seventh through 12th grade and awards for service hours. Lameese Batarseh received the highest honor for completing the most philanthropy hours throughout her NCL experience – more than 400 hours volunteering in the community. In addition, three members received the Folsom NCL chapter Modellete award, which recognizes Ticktockers (daughters) who exemplify the NCL, Inc. mission, focusing on community service, leadership development and cultural experiences. These three recipients were seniors Batarseh and Prachi Meghani, and junior Delilah Simmons.
