The Rose & Crown chapter meets on the third Saturday of each month January to June and September to December. We meet at St. Mark Lutheran Church (2109 College Street, Lacey, across from Mt. View Elementary School). 11:00 a.m. is our starting time which always begins with a cuppa tea and a quick visit with other members of the chapter before the meeting starts. We bring our own lunch to have after the meeting with two members providing set up and dessert each month.
We have a variety of activities which include field trips, auctions, fundraising, summer fun times, garage sales, a Family Christmas Lunch, and out famous Queen's Tea in April of each year. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and our goal is to provide support to local charities and the British Home in California. This past year we donated to Special Olympics, Grace Guest House, VFW and local food banks; we made the decision to donate half of our garage sale money to the Lahaina Maui Humane Society to aid the lost and displaced animals due to the devastating fire in August.
We begin our charity service work in January volunteering for the All Kids Win program which provides weekend food bags for Thurston County students in need. We hosted the State All Chapters Meeting in 2024. We participate in a local middle school's bazaars twice a year.
Membership dues for first time members is $56.00 per year. Regular membership is $42.00 per year.
