The Sacramento Valley chapter was chartered on November 16, 1947 with seven members. Bay Cities was the sponsoring chapter. Charter members at that time included Dorothy Barden, Coral Bloom, Wanda Wagner Daniel, Dorothy Vernon Grieve, Leah Johnson, Reta L. Sutherland, and Eleanor T. Verkuyl. Very little was recorded of the chapter’s activities during its first ten years since there were no fund-raising events or formal meetings with minutes. The meetings mainly consisted of a fly-in for lunch. With help from several members, an archive was compiled describing the chapter’s many activities since 1957.

Our chapter currently has 42 members living in the Sacramento Valley and Vacaville area. Local airports for our members include Cameron Park, Davis University, Franklin Field, Lincoln, Mather, McClellan, Placerville, Rancho Murieta, Rio Linda, and Sacramento Executive. Our monthly meeting alternate between Google Meet and in-person. Many of our members are student pilots, so some of our events have included ATC tower and TRACON tours, guest speakers, and study groups for those close to check rides.
