Welcome to SLO RAM
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.
