About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Peninsula 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 90274 or 90275. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Peninsula aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

At 65 years of age, the Peninsula Chapter is one of the oldest and most established chapters in the country. Our Chapter provides valuable philanthropic, leadership and cultural experiences to its members and strives to meet the critical needs of local communities through financial aid and hands-on support.

This active mother-daughter Chapter is currently comprised of 148 mothers (Patronesses) and 175 daughters (Ticktockers) working together to assist more than 30 philanthropies. This past year our Patronesses and Ticktockers together contributed over 16,485 annual volunteer hours.

In addition, the Chapter owns and operates The Ticktocker Thrift Shop located in San Pedro. All proceeds from the Thrift Shop operations directly benefit the community by funding continuing scholarships and providing monetary grants to the numerous local charitable organizations.
