For Our Annual Conference
Santa Cruz, California

As a sometimes sun-kissed banana belt in the mid-California coastal fog zone; as the meeting place of primeval forest and open meadow; as a mission town; as one of the original pueblo settlements of California; as a resort town for a hundred and fifty years and later a university town and spillover territory to Silicon Valley; as the home of lumber, leather, lime, and leisure and of early feminist activists; as a legendary garden spot; as a hippie paradise where the granola never stops flowing and there is no place like a dome home—Santa Cruz is a remarkable environment to live in and relish.
