Chapter XI – London, England
Founded: 1930
History: Known Founding Members included Christine Fitzgerald, Virginia Kepple-Palmer, Elisabeth Myatt, Florence Palmer, Marion Tuck, Eleanor Winslow. There is a note in Chapter XI documents that states ‘Miss Van Rensselaer drew up an ancestry chart of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother’s CDA membership claim and it was lodged at the College of Arms, London. The Queen Mother qualified through her Virginia relatives but she never took up membership according to our records.’
Chapter project: Chapter XI is in the process of selecting a new Chapter Project. Previously, one Chapter Project was to support the Mount Vernon Garden at Claverton Manor, the American Museum in Bath. CDA Chapter XI built the garden and bought the gates.
