Mothers (or fathers) of current high school sophomore girls are invited to attend an informational meeting about the Thursday Club’s Modern Debutante Program on Monday, March 4 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Thursday Club, 4440 Woodleigh Lane. Club leaders will explain the requirements for Club membership and Program participation.

The 16-month Program begins in the girls’ junior year of high school and continues through December of their senior year. Each participant must complete 10 hours each of community service, charitable activities and cultural events. Personal development instruction is given at monthly group meetings and includes lessons in managing personal finances, nutrition (eating healthy in a college environment), public speaking, personal safety, stress management, personal correspondence and much more.

The Program culminates with a black-tie ball held in late December when the Program participants are presented as adults.
