How do you sign up for Santa Cruz State Parks newsletter? I looked all over their website but couldn't find a link for it.
I got this information because I'm a member of Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks. This is the first time I got this information in an e-mail (coincidentally, it came shortly after I called them to complain that I didn't get the newsletter with October events until midway through November).
I like supporting this organization because I think they sponsor really good events, and I also really like the State Parks in Santa Cruz.
