Welcome!

The Luiseño Chapter was organized on October 15, 1966. Ora B. Findley (Mrs. Joab B. Findley) was the chapter's first regent.  Our chapter, Luiseño, was named after the Luiseño Mission Indians from Mission San Luis Rey.  The chapter was organized and chartered in Sun City, California.  Our location was changed to Temecula Valley, after much growth came to the surrounding communities of Menifee, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, and Temecula.

Most members are from the Temecula Valley area; however, some members are from other areas, as well. Local residency is not a requirement for membership in any chapter.

The Luiseño Chapter luncheon meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month, September through May, at 11:30 a.m. If you would like to attend one of our meetings, please contact us.

We welcome any woman for membership who is over 18 years of age and who is descended from a man or woman who aided in achieving American Independence during the period between April 19, 1775, and November 26, 1783. Information on membership in the DAR can be found here.
