History

Veteran memorial districts are formed under and pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 2, Division 6, of the Military and Veterans Code of the State of California.  Veteran memorial districts have the authority to provide and maintain halls and meeting places and indoor and outdoor recreational facilities for both the general public and veterans. They may perform these functions by either owning their own facilities or leasing facilities from other public entities such as counties and schools. Voters within the district boundaries elect a five- member Board of Directors to govern the District.  

In 1958 the Angels Camp Veterans Memorial District was founded.

Over 60 years later, the Angels Camp Veterans Memorial District is still providing facilities and support programs to promote a legacy of service for preserving our community's and country's foundational ideals. The District is comprised of five elected officials from within the legislative boundaries that include the communities of  Angels Camp and Copperopolis. The Board membership is comprised of five Veteran seats for terms of four years. The Board of Directors have faithfully led the District to develop into a responsive form of government that honors the community's desire to recognize the selfless service of Veterans and preserve the ideals that have served the community so well.

The Angels Camp Veterans Memorial District has facilities located at 1219 Rasberry Lane, Angels Camp, California. The hall was built in the 1937 and was acquired by the District in 1991 and remodeled.  The hall is approximately 1,100 square feet in size and has a meeting room and offices on the main floor and an exercise room in the basement.  The hall is available free of charge for public functions and available for private functions for a fee.  Every year the District is instrumental in supporting activities led by Veterans Associations within the District by offering space at no cost to them, as well as a nutrition program for veterans and scholarships for veterans children.

The Angels Camp Veterans Memorial District is proud to sponsor programs that bring our community together to celebrate the freedom we enjoy as a nation. We will continue to work with our community to make it the greatest community to grow up in, live in, work in and play in today, tomorrow and well into the future. We never forget that the freedoms we enjoy as a society are secured by the sacrifice of our service members. Our choice to support programs that bring our community together to celebrate our freedoms is one small way of showing our local Veterans how much we appreciate their sacrifices for our nation. In showcasing the community which they helped secure its freedoms we demonstrate to our Veterans that their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their families truly matters. America: land of the free because of the brave!
