We are actually called Daughters of the British Empire (DBE) in Southern California, Inc., and to check us out you can go to www.dbesocal.org We have 7 Chapters in Southern California and we would like to increase our membership. Current membership is 120.The chapters meet monthly in each other's homes or Club House. Daughters of the British Empire is a voluntary American Society of women of British or Commonwealth birth or ancestry and the Society has just celebrated it's 101 anniversary! The Society was founded in 1909 as the Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire in the U.S.A., and became the National Society, Daughters of the Briitish Empire in the U.S.A., Incorporated, in 1920.  DBE is affiliated with the Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire in Canada (IODE), the Victoria League in England, and the General Federation of Women's Clubs in the United States.  We are a charitable 501(c)3

 

The purpose of the society in Southern California is the support of the District retirement home, The British Home in California, Ltd., (License #191501668 COA #064) located in Sierra Madre.  and to have as much fun as possible doing so!  The British Home is also a 501(c)3.  Fund raising consists of  English Teas, Luncheons/Fashion Shows, Picnics, Bazaars, Wine & Cheese tastings, Summer Get-togethers Scottish Highland Games and more!  Several Chapters participate in The Home's annual June Faire.

 

 We drink a lot of tea and enjoy a good laugh. We are Brits, Aussies, Kiwis, Canadians, South Africans, we 've come from the Bahamas, Barbados, India; you name it. Some of us have a spouse who is of British/Commonwealth heritage so we can join too! Lifelong friendships are made.
