Calendar

Our meetings are held generally on the second Saturday of the month, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. We do not hold chapter business meetings during the summer months of June, July, and August. But we participate in events like the Wauwatosa 4th of July Parade, travel with our travel club and clean headstones in the Wauwatosa Cemetery. If you are interested in joining or visiting one of our meetings, or think you have a Revolutionary War patriot, we would love to hear from you. Email our registrar for further information.
