National Charity League, Inc., Lake Sammamish Chapter held its annual Mother-Daughter Tea May 6 at the Sahalee Country Club.
The Chapter celebrated logging more than 4,200 hours of Community Service between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012 — more than 1,100 hours above the platform’s goal.
This year’s theme, “A Mad Hatter’s Tea Party,” was reflected in a variety of fashionable hats worn by the nearly 160 members in attendance.
The graduating Class of 2012 was honored and included: Emily Cushing, Eve Franklin, Grace Hamilton, Alena Karkanias, Olivia Krueger, Lindsey Lee, Kate McDonald, Jillian Nichols, Kate Pullen, Ali Savage, Kelly Senegor and Blaine Weiss.
The Lake Sammamish Chapter also collected and delivered over $700 in twin sheet sets and gifts cards to Camp Korey to assist with the upcoming expansion of the camp programs for children with serious and life-altering medical conditions. The Chapter has partnered the camp since last spring.
