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. Both have interesting programs shown here as well as in the Bulletin. Click the Bulletin button below to access the current issue. Prior Bulletins are located on the Documents page and older Bulletins are found in the Archive section.
