Join DAV Ventura Chapter 24

Membership connects you with fellow veterans and supports the free services our chapter provides. Joining is simple — here's how it works:

  1. Submit the application below. Your information goes directly to our chapter officers, who will follow up with you.
  2. Come to a chapter meeting — the 4th Tuesday of every month at 6:00 PM, 2126 Knoll Dr., Ventura. We'll welcome you and complete your membership.
  3. Or reach an officer directly: Commander Charlie Foote at CharlesFoote.1@att.net, or Senior Vice Commander Manuel Gonzales at mgonzalesime@aol.com.

Membership Cost

  • DAV life membership is $325 — and free for veterans age 80 or older.
  • A minimum down payment of $40 gets you your membership card; the remaining balance is paid in interest-free installments, with all dues payments applied to your life membership account.
  • You can also apply online for as little as $10 with a recurring monthly credit card payment at dav.org/membership/join-dav.
  • Life membership payments are non-refundable and are not tax deductible.

No payment is collected through this website. Payment is handled in person at a chapter meeting or securely through DAV National at dav.org.

Membership Application

Fields marked * are required. Your information is sent by email to our chapter officers only. Please do not include payment details, Social Security numbers, or medical information — eligibility details are completed on the official DAV application.

Optional — include if you'd prefer a call back.

New members receive a DAV t-shirt. If no size is chosen, you'll be sent an XL.

If a current DAV member referred you.

If you're 80 or older, mention it here — your life membership is free.
