Seven young women from Columbus County or have close ties to the community have been invited to participate in the 85th annual North Carolina Debutante Ball in Raleigh the weekend of September 8-10. The formal presentation of young women from across the state will highlight the weekend fes- tivities. The Terpsichorean Club, comprised of young men from the Raleigh area, was formed in the 1920s to sponsor an annual statewide Debutante Ball to present North Carolina’s promi- nent young ladies and to honor their families. The Ball has been held every year since 1923 with the exception of the World War II years. More than 200 nominators throughout the state select debu- tantes and Terpsichorean members make the final approval. Invitations are extended in recognition of the contributions their families have made to the economic, cultural, social and civic life of North Carolina. The leader of the ball is chosen from Wake County’s debutantes and 12 debs throughout the state are named assistant leaders. During the ball weekend, eight functions will be held in hon- or of the debutantes, their families and their escorts.
