COLORADO PAST REGENTS CLUB:

 What is the Past Regents Club and why should you join?

            The Past Regents Club of Colorado is an opportunity for all past court regents to keep in touch, make new friends, and renew friendships formed with other court regents during a regent’s term. Every year past regents have the opportunity to socialize and catch up on life’s events. There are many Past Regents Clubs throughout the country and the earliest information we have shows that the Colorado Past Regents Club started in about 1982. We have had many wonderful CDA sisters stepping up to be officers throughout the years, and your current officers were elected at the 2021 Colorado State Convention held in Cortez, CO: President – Donna Barnes; Secretary – Julie Hatch; Treasurer – Evelyn Irving. Being a member of the Past Regents Club is an honor given to those Catholic Daughters that have “stepped up” to lead their court. In 2019, there was a vote to change the Bylaws to make membership in the Past Regents Club even more accessible than before – there is no longer a time limit for your term as Regent of your court. Please consider becoming a member. There are only two meetings: we have a social meeting and luncheon at the Colorado State Workshop and a business meeting and luncheon at the Colorado State Convention, where By laws are reviewed and a charity is chosen to which a donation is made. We also provide a Memorial Service for all deceased CDA members throughout the State of Colorado. It is a very moving tribute to our deceased. Dues are $6.00 for two (2) years paid prior to the business meeting. Members pay for their own meal at both gatherings. Invitations will be sent out to all the out-going Regents to join us and we hope you accept this honor. The current officers of the Past Regents Club want to convey a sincere thank you to our current active and inactive members.
