Lone Star

About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Lone Star Chapter is a group of mothers and daughters who have come together in a commitment to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences.
Members shall reside in Rockwall County. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Lone Star aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

 

The Lone Star Chapter was the 23rd NCL chapter (nationwide) and the very first NCL Chapter in Texas!  We were chartered in 1983 and we are incredibly honored to have served the Rockwall County community for over 40 years! 

We are proud of the tradition, determination, and accomplishments of our Chapter through the years as we foster the mother-daughter relationship. 

Our Chapter has over 300 members, 30 philanthropy partners, and a history of excellence in our community.

 

We recently celebrated our 40th anniversary and we look forward to celebrating many other milestones as the Lone Star Chapter continues to grow!
