Curious about where our Club members called home? Turns out that we are spread across the county. Click on the map below for a closer look by city and zip code.
Some interesting facts: 31 Club members live in the city of Santa Cruz, 7 live in Capitola, 5 live in Scotts Valley, and 2 live in Watsonville. 66 members live in unincorporated Santa Cruz County. (Based on latest available data.) Did you know that zip codes (your mailing address) do not always match the city you live in but the post office that serves you?
