We are a chapter of the National Women Marines Association and are known as The
Edith Macias Vann Chapter Southern California, CA-7. The chapter was formed in
1972.
Our mission is to promote camaraderie among women
Marines who are serving or have served honorably in the United States Marine Corps;
to award scholarships to qualified high school seniors attending public school
in Northern San Diego County; and to cooperate with other organizations in patriotic,
educational and charitable endeavors.
Our chapter is
named after Edith Macias Vann, who served in the Marine Corps during World War
I as a “Marinette”. When the chapter was formed in September 1972 she helped with
the organization.
