SLO RAM (Retired Active Men San Luis Obispo) is a social club established to promote fellowship by helping retired men renew friendships, establish new relationships and enjoy participation in a variety of programs and activities. We meet for fun and enjoyment by offering camaraderie and involvement in broad areas of interest to our members. SLO RAM is entirely a social club. We have no fund-raising, philanthropic, political or religious goals or involvement. There are two SLO RAM meetings, the monthly Luncheon and the weekly Coffee Cabinet as described below. There are also many activity groups members can join. Click the Activity Groups link in the top menu to find out more.

If you would like to attend a meeting as a guest, please fill out the Contact form by clicking the Contact link in the top menu and someone will get in touch with you.

The monthly Luncheons are held in the Madonna Inn Garden Room.  They are held on the third Tuesday of the month. Check in starts at 11:00am and ends at 11:25am so the check-in team can be seated before the meeting starts. The meeting is called to order at 11:30am, concluding at 1:00pm. SLO RAM Members and invited guests are welcome. Luncheon cost is $30 through 2024.

The next Luncheon meeting will be on November 19^th. The featured speaker will be Hal Schmidt. Hal is a 2-time TOPGUN instructor. He will discuss how he has integrated his Navy experience with making wine since the 1990’s at his vineyard. Please make a reservation if you plan to attend
