Daughters of the British Empire in North Carolina is a 501 (c)(3), non-political, non-sectarian American Society of women of British or British Commonwealth of Nations heritage by birth, naturalization or ancestry, or whose spouses/partners are of British or Commonwealth of Nations heritage.
Daughters of the British Empire in North Carolina (DBE) in North Carolina:
North Carolina is part of the Southern District and supports Mountbatten House (a non-profit assisted living home) which is located in Houston, Texas. The state currently has two DBE chapters – House of Raleigh and Lady Jane Grey. Chapter meetings are held monthly. Under normal circumstances, we meet in each other’s homes. Upon conclusion of Chapter business we enjoy light refreshments and the camaraderie of our fellow members.
In addition to supporting Mountbatten House, Chapters support a local charity – chosen each year by Chapter members. Recent fundraisers have included afternoon teas, yard sales, Parade of Homes greeters, craft sales and both Belk and Macy’s Charity Day ticket sales. In addition to fundraising, members meet for coffee, walks, book club, and other social events. Chapter members also contribute toiletry items to ‘Women in Need’ and used paperbacks to ‘Women in Prison’.
We actively partner with similar groups such as: British Cultural and Business Embassy Trade Office, British American Business Council, Sister Cities and Facebook social groups.
