The California State Society was organized April 3, 1925 by Mrs. Earl J. Fellows at Los Angeles, CA. It was shortly followed by chapters in Santa Barbara and San Francisco. Today, there are ten chapters located though out the state. Click on Chapters to locate the chapter closest to you. You will find a map and chapter locations.
To enable our members to be active in an area of their interest, we are actively involved in several committees devoted to patriotism, history, and education. We support students in local high schools and colleges by presenting JROTC and ROTC awards. We support history by placing markers at historical sites in California. A listing of those already marked can be found under Chapters. We support education through scholarships.
The California Society continues to support the National projects designated by the current National President. In addition, the state has a theme and projects to support the state theme.
