The Peninsula Chapter was founded in 1957 and chartered on October 29, 1958. The Peninsula Chapter’s first president was Mrs. Charles (Lynn) Ullrich, II. The Peninsula Chapter is a member of the “Quarter Century Circle”, chapters that were chartered during the first twenty-five years of National Charity League. The Newport Chapter was also organized in l957 and chartered in 1958.
From 1958 to 1980 seventeen additional chapters were formed and chartered from San Diego to Santa Barbara, inland to the Coachella Valley and as far east as Salt Lake City Utah (the first chapter outside the state of California). Today, growth is rapidly occurring throughout the country as people discover the unique characteristics of National Charity League. The Palos Verdes Chapter was organized in May, 2004 and chartered in 2006. It also consists of members who live on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
In all of these years, the standards and policies of National Charity League, Inc., Peninsula Chapter have been to foster community service and to strengthen the mother-daughter relationship through participation in a program of philanthropic work, educational and cultural activities and social events. As a result of the Ticktocker experience, many young women have continued to be involved in community service in college and beyond. Others have taken their Ticktocker experience and used it to define their college and career choices. It is the gift of National Charity League, Inc.
