The Bachelors Board of Governors were pleased to announce the names of the upcoming group of Debutantes.  The Announcement Tea, where the families and young ladies were recognized, was held recently.  The Cotillion, where they will be formally introduced at their debuts, will be held at the Hall of Mirrors at the Netherland Plaza on December 23.  

The Bachelors is a group of 50 men, ages 21‑30, organized for the purpose of socializing in a gentlemanly fashion. The group was founded in 1928 by several prominent young men who wished to thank the parents of the debutantes of that year for the grand parties to which they were invited. This tradition continues today with The Bachelors presenting the debutantes at the Cotillion in December.
