 Idaho
is one of the newer member states of the National Society, Daughters of
the British Empire in the USA, having received its charter in early 2002.
It has two chapters, The Crown Jewels Chapter and The Tea Rose Chapter, which
are both based in, or near, Boise, the state capital.
DBE in Idaho is part of the Western District and, as such,
supports the British Home in Sierra Madre, California.
 History
really does
repeat itself. DBE in Idaho was first formed in 1927. There were
two chapters: the Lincoln Chapter in Boise and the Princess Margaret Rose
Chapter in Idaho Falls. The state's charter lapsed in the 1940's, but
meetings continued to be held well into the 1950's.
If you, or anyone you know, belonged to the first DBE in Idaho, or if
you have any historical information about it, we would love to hear from
you! |
