THE LADIES

On Dec. 17, 2014 at the beautiful Omni William Penn Hotel grand ballroom, the Pittsburgh Chapter of  Jack and Jill of America Inc. presented 14 highly accomplished teens to Pittsburgh. The Presentation Ball, this year benefiting Healthy Start, is the culmination of months of leadership workshops, service projects, and dance and etiquette rehearsals.
With Charlie Batch and Latasha Wilson-Batch as Grand Marshals, and Janine Macklin and Charena Swann as Ball co-chairs, the following teens were presented to society: Dorian Jamal Anderson, Ashley Michelle Bridges, Candace Nicole Burgess, Dawson Lee Davis, Madison Danielle Taylor, Margaux Blair Wilson, Madison Nicole Morrissey, Darrien Renee Hopkins, Wesley Alan Johnson, Joel P. Macklin, L. Braxton Swann, Ashlynn Ella Thompson, Martha Elise Yanders and Madison McKenzie Ware.
The young ladies were stunning in striking white ball gowns and the young men in elegant white tails. Carlotta Burgess, Pittsburgh Chapter president, said she wants to applaud and rejoice with the presentees and their families for the long period of preparation. “Your achievements are the reason for this celebration.”
The Pittsburgh Chapter was organized in 1944, as the fourth chapter of Jack and Jill of America Incorporated and was integral in the development of a plan for the national organization and its incorporation in 1946. Joining in the 2014 Pittsburgh celebration were Jack and Jill of America Inc. National President Tammy King and Eastern Regional Director Joi M. Grady.
