Wildflowers

About Our Chapter

NCL, Inc., Wildflowers 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 Klein ISD and Spring ISD area. Like all NCL, Inc. Chapters, Wildflowers aims to foster the mother-daughter relationship by serving its communities together.

The Wildflowers Chapter of NCL was organized in 1994 and became a fully chartered chapter in 1996. Members of the Wildflowers Chapter reside in the Klein or Spring Independent School Districts or attend a school in those attendance zones, located in Northwest Houston, TX. Currently our Chapter does not do fundraising in the community. Through chapter meetings, chapter activities and philanthropic service, we are continuing to build the impact our Chapter has on our communities through the NCL, Inc. Core Values.

NCL is a 6 year mother/daughter philanthropic program where girls join their 6th grade year (and some are able to join in 7th and 8th grade if there are openings) and finish in 12th grade.  Our membership drive for current 6th-8th graders will start Jan 15, 2024.  Our chapter will hold 2 informational sessions (only attend one) for prospective members on Monday Jan 22, 2024 and Sunday Jan 28, 2024 both at 6:30pm at the Spring Creek Oaks Clubhouse on 6002 Bur Oak Dr, 77379.  Unfortunately, we are unable to accept girls once they are in high school.

 

 

Additionally, we welcome younger daughters and sisters of established members. If you have a legacy member who will eventually join Wildflowers, please complete this form so we can reserve her spot in her upcoming class.
