Local Parlor

You must join through a local Parlor (chapter). To find a local Parlor to visit and obtain contact information, go to the Active Parlor page or email GrandParlor@ndgw.org . The Active Parlor page lists Parlors by city and will provide contact information, meeting dates and times, along with annual dues and initiation fees.

Application

The Membership Application requires proof of California birth, signatures of two members as your sponsors, payment of six months dues and the initiation fee. The completed application is returned to the Recording Secretary of the local Parlor.

Initiation

After the application is accepted by a Parlor vote, you will be required to attend an initiation ceremony. If you live too far away to attend an initiation ceremony, become a “Member at Large”. For more information, contact a local Parlor CLICK HERE.

Love of California is evident in the Order’s unceasing efforts to promote the study of her romantic history and reverence for the memory of the sturdy Pioneer Fathers and Mothers, the founders of our great state.
