Our Annual Debutante Ball, as presented by the members of East St. Louis Alumnae Chapter, is a magical rite of passage designed to showcase the great accomplishments of exceptional young women from the East St. Louis Metropolitan area.

This year is exceptionally special as we rise from the ashes of 2020 and launch our first ever Virtual Debutante Ball. Over the years, we have spotlighted young women for their academic success and civic efforts, while offering the debutantes the opportunity to enhance their educational and social skills in order to prepare them for their next phases in life. As Enthusiastic, Strong, Loving and Ambitious women of Character, the members of ESLAC embrace and empower our Debutantes to believe they can achieve success and make their dreams become reality. Continuing our legacy, we have the distinct honor of presenting three beautiful, diverse and intelligent young women from various communities of the Metropolitan East St. Louis area. Together, we are humbled by your presence and appreciate your support.

We extend a most earnest expression of gratitude to the 2021 Debutante Ball Court, their parents and the presenters for allowing us to witness and contribute to this momentous occasion in their lives. We sincerely thank our Chapter President, Pamela M. Weston for the opportunity to serve. Lastly, our heartfelt appreciation to the 2021 Debutante Ball Committee; their steadfast efforts, devotion, energy, creativity and support have been unmatched. Thank you for embracing the legacy and shining our light throughout this entire 52nd Debutante Ball Season.

Ernice K. Thrash

It’s no coincidence that Ernice Kelly Thrash was born on the 4th of July. She entered this world with a force that shifted the cosmos! Ernice is an intelligent, caring, independent, creative and beautiful soul. She manages to be the light in a dim room no matter how bad the circumstances may be.

We love to see her in action because she is a doer and a cheerful giver. It’s amazing to watch her as she enthusiastically helps her mother with caring for her grandmother and great aunt. In addition to her enthusiasm to help the family, she brings her youthful sense of fashion and zest for life to all her endeavors. She radiates positivity both at school and at home. We are so blessed by her ability to be exactly who God intended her to be and are proud of the woman she is becoming!
