Sacramento Chapter received its charter at the National Convention held in June, 1956 at Cleveland, Ohio. Its purpose is to provide a constructive educational, recreational, social and cultural program for children and by this medium of contact create a greater bond of friendship for the children and their parents and guardians. A group of women got together with Mrs. Lucy Amerson and Mrs. Grace Morgan-Jones to establish our local chapter. Mrs. Grace Morgan-Jones was the first President.
