National League of Charities, Inc. San Dieguito Chapter sophomores and seniors, along with their family and friends, celebrated the Senior Recognition Ceremony and Fashion Show on Sunday, May 1, at the US Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego.
This combined event, a collaboration between the sophomore class of 2024 and the senior class of 2022, used the theme “Out of the Woods.” The evening began with Patron Jennifer Tankersley introducing the senior girls, called the Ticktockers, and recognizing the successful completion of their six-year NCL program of philanthropic, cultural and leadership activities. The elderly, accompanied by their fathers, wore white as a symbol of new beginnings and new opportunities. NCL, Inc. San Dieguito is proud to celebrate the following seniors, who dedicated over 4,600 hours of philanthropic service during their six-year tenure as Ticktockers: Aubrie Conway, Molly Curran, Cassidy Dugdale, Amelia Gilkey, Lindsay Hole, Alina Kureshi, Faith Lamb, Gabriella Llaneta, Grace Lofaro, Allison Lynn, Skylar Marshall, Cynthia Meyers, Reagan Neuendorf, Anna Nichols, Sophia Remnek, Lauren Roddis, Emory Rodriguez, Ava Sargent, Avery Steele and Vanessa Yen.

After the recognition ceremony, the Class of 2024 showed off fashions from Nordstrom, Fashion Valley. After months of training and rehearsals, 28 Ticktockers sophomores took to the runway to model three distinct designer outfits in front of 375 attendees. The preparation and experience of participating in the fashion show helps these young women develop confidence and poise, as well as their leadership and public presentation skills.
