Description: Welcome to the Santa Cruz Chapter an affiliate of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA). Our Chapter includes the Santa Cruz, CA metro area.

The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is the nation's largest and most influential association of military officers. It is an independent, nonprofit, politically nonpartisan organization.

The National association plays an active role in military personnel matters and especially proposed legislation affecting the career force, the retired community, and veterans of the uniformed services. While MOAA is permitted by law to lobby and may advocate issues, it may not advocate the election or defeat of particular candidates or political parties.
Mission: The Mission of the Santa Cruz, CA, Chapter is to provide a cordial, social and supportive environment for our members and their families. We uphold the honorable principles of our military services. We are proactive members of our communities.
Programs: The chapter has a dinner meeting with a guest speaker or entertainment on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Peach Tree Restaurant, Paseo Tiempo exit of Highway 17. Social Hour is at 5:00 pm. Dinner is at 6:00 pm. Cost $20.00. Meal includes salad, main course, coffee and dessert. We setup "The Avenue of Flags" with the assistance of the Santa Cruz Sea Scout Post at 7:00am and remove the flags at 3:00 pm at the Oakwood Memorial Park on Paul Sweet Drive off of Soquel Drive in Santa Cruz on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day. We participate in the MOAA Scholarship Program using member donated funds and funds raised from Chapter activities.
