Hello, and thank you for visiting the DBE in Connecticut website. We hope you like what you’ve seen while browsing and are now eager to meet our friendly group.

The DBE in Connecticut provides opportunities to meet and have a chat over a cup of tea while sharing experiences of living in the USA and memories of our homelands.

Fundraising for local charities, particularly those that support vulnerable seniors, is a fundamental part of our mission.

While each Chapter holds its own social events and fundraisers, the Board took the opportunity in recent years to celebrate occasions such as Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee and the Coronation of King Charles III. In 2025, we held a gathering for members and friends to celebrate our Founders Day as well as the 80th Anniversary of VE Day. On each occasion, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon buffet consisting mostly of homemade traditional tea goodies.

These celebrations proved to be so popular that the CT Board decided to take advantage of our monthly meetings to host the occasional afternoon tea for members and friends.

The State Board warmly welcomes women with British and Commonwealth connections. We very much hope that you will join the DBE and help us to continue to achieve our aims.

For more information, please email us at dbeinct@gmail.com and one of us contact you with further information.

Cheers!

The Connecticut State Board
