About Our Chapter
We were named for our historic town and county of Yuma, Arizona, both taking their names from the Yumas, a loose confederation of tribes including the Quechan, Cocopah, and Mohave who had occupied this part of Arizona long before the arrival of the white man.
Yuma Chapter was formed in 1928, and our charter members included Organizing Regent Mrs. Regina Mathews and Mrs. Clarissa Winsor, the third white child born in Arizona Territory on September 3, 1880. Another charter member, Mary Spaulding, founded the Yuma County Historical Society, now a division of the Arizona Historical Society. We are the most-southwestern chapter in Arizona.
Meetings & Membership
Yuma Chapter Meetings are held the second Saturday of each month. We meet October through April, to accommodate our winter visitors. Doors open at 10:00 a.m. for social time and our meeting starts at 10:30 a.m. with luncheon following at 11:30 a.m.
We recognize that many women work or have numerous weekday responsibilities and commitments, and keep to Saturday meetings to enable active participation for the majority of our members. We have members who will assist prospective members, in proving their Patriot ancestor.
If you would like to attend one of our meetings, please contact Carolyn Gordon.
