Placer County Council

U.S. Navy League

Introduction

The Placer County Council Navy League is a non-profit civilian educational organization, headquartered in the city of Auburn, Placer County, California, chartered December 4, 1956.

With over 150 members, 50-100 will meet each month at our educational dinner. We also participate in local parades and fairs, naval excursions and exhibits, and support educational programs in Northern California.

We are the top Western Region Council in net membership gain this year, thanks to our very enjoyable educational dinners, and the very visible good work we do, allowing our members and supporters to see the direct results of their contributions.
