The issue features a column entitled “Santa Cruz Invites You” by Tom McHugh which includes photos of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and “The Giant” tree at Santa Cruz Big Tree Grove; the article mentions club preparations for the conclave and the attractions available in Santa Cruz. Also in this issue is a two-page spread featuring photos and information on the entertainment offered by Santa Cruz such as the Natatorium and beaches near the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, and tennis and golfing at Casa del Rey and Pasatiempo Golf Course. Other mentions of Santa Cruz and their club activities can be found in other issues of the magazine such as the 1928, 1929, and later and earlier volumes of the year 1930. The May 1930 issue (vol.4. no.8) includes three and one-half pages detailing the events that occurred at the Santa Cruz Conclave and two approx. 4×7” photos of the Welcoming Luncheon and dance held at the Palomar Hotel. There are two copies of some issues, including the April 1930 issue focusing on Santa Cruz. The 1933 and 1949 editions of the magazine also feature spreads on Santa Cruz, since conventions were held in those years.
