Coldstream Guards Chapter was started in September of 1955 in the Bellaire area, though today our members come from all over the west side of Houston. We are a daytime chapter, meeting on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 11:00am in member’s homes.
We currently have 12 members ranging in age from the 40’s to the 90’s and hailing mostly from England and Scotland.
Like other chapters, we raise money to support charities, mostly Mountbatten House, the assisted living facility built and operated by the DBE. But we also support local charities such as the Houston Food Bank and Salvation Army. We hold work parties on a regular basis to make 144 dozen (semi-famous) Christmas Crackers (and some with birthday and Hanukkah themes as well) to be sold at the annual Houston Bazaar.
