1. The Santa Cruz Friends Meetinghouse (Quakers — QMH) at 225 Rooney St. in Santa Cruz has been visited by a number of Board and general members multiple times for consideration as a new location for SCTAG general membership meetings and workshops. The QMH has been found to be an improvement over the current meeting site for reasons including better parking, a more centralized location, no stairs, padded seating, stronger built-in AV tools, and a second room available for workshops.
