The Kalamazoo Chapter was charted on February 14, 1946, at the Burdick Hotel, the first chapter in Michigan to be chartered. Thirty-four women braved a snowstorm that night to sign the charter. Currently there are more than 60 members in this chapter.
We would be happy to have you join us at our monthly meetings to see all that we offer our members. Please contact any officer for more information.
