Forty-seven
young women of distinction made their bow to society at the 54th
Anniversary of the International Debutante Ball and dinner dance
at New York's Waldorf Astoria on December 29, 2008.
Representing England, Hong Kong, France, Germany, and Greece, as well
as ten American States, eleven young women from Texas and five sets
of sisters, each debutante was accompanied by two escorts; a military
cadet in full dress uniform carrying the flag of her country or state,
plus a civilian escort in white tie and tails.
The International Debutante Ball was founded in 1954 as a charity. The
International Debutante Ball Foundation supports numerous charities
including The Soldiers', Sailors', Marines', Coast
Guard and Airmen's Club, a home away from home for the military
and their families.
