Hi Saleh, good to have another prospective falconer from southern California around .

As others have suggested, I'd definitely join the CHC. Last year was my first meet (in Sacramento), and I met some great people including my sponsor. Next year's meet will be in Bakersfield, so not as bad of a drive. You can join up there and mingle, check out some birds, etc. The publication they send out isn't bad, either.

Good luck getting it together! Hope to see you around here and at the meet in January.
