History of the Cabane

The La Societe De Femme  is an organization formed in 1963 and associated with La Societe Des Quarante  Hommes et Huit Cheveau (40/8), is made up of female members affiliated with Voyageurs Militaire & Veterans. The organization has been confused with the 8&40 and 4&20 of the American Legion & Auxiliary, which they are not part of. Each unit and officers are named after the French Railroad. Their units and titles parallel the Voyageurs except that each unit is called Cabane (Caboose). All of it's programs are the same as the 40/8, which aids the Voiture and work toward the betterment of La Societe as a whole. To be a member you must be 18 years of age and be affiliated with a 40/80er, an American Legion Member or a Veteran.
