Thirteen local young women were introduced at the 60th Annual Las Patronas Tea. The Tea was held November 19 at the home of Mrs. Jeffrey Douglas in Camarillo.
The girls were presented to the members of Las Patronas, an auxiliary of Assistance League of Ventura County and their guests.
The Tea is a first in a series of events that will culminate in the Las Patronas Debutante Ball on March 11, 2017 at the Ventura Beach Marriott.
Proceeds from the Ball are used to benefit Assistance League philanthropies, including Assistance League School, Girls Club/Teen Club, B.U.F.F.Y. Bear Program and Operation School Bell®.
The Vision for Assistance League is: “A Brighter Tomorrow for Today’s Children”
