RALEIGH — Robert Walker Hobson, president of the Terpsichorean Club of Raleigh, announced that invitations have been issued to the 84th annual North Carolina Debutante Ball.

The event will be held in Raleigh from Sept. 9-11. The formal presentation of young ladies from across the state will highlight the weekend festivities.

Young ladies are selected by over 200 nominators located throughout the state. Final approval of the debutantes are made by the Terpsichorean Club members.

The Leader of the Ball is chosen from Wake County's debutantes and 14 young ladies from throughout the state are also honored by being named Assistant Leaders.

During the ball weekend, there will be eight functions held in honor of the debutantes, their families and their escorts.
