Organization of the Hawaii State Society:

On 6 April 1961 Mrs. Clarence Wollman was appointed Organizing President in Hawaii. The Chapter was named after her ancestor Col. Morgan Morgan [1 Nov. 1688-17 Nov. 1766]. In April Of 1963 the charter was presented to Mrs. B. Howell Bond. There have been some setbacks in both 1965 and 1996, but the ladies have over come them. The State Society came into being due to a National By-laws Amendment in 1996.

Pertinent Facts about the Hawaii Society:

Past members who have held office at the National level were Mrs. B. Howell Bond, Mrs. Robert E. Nitz, and Mrs. Ramon E. Maddox.

Due to our being an Island State, it takes a bit of travel time to National. Our membership changes with ladies, coming and leaving with their families.
