Ramona Duck Club

For many years, Duane has been a member of the Ramona Duck Club, a non-profit duck hunting club near the San Jacinto Wildlife Preserve, by Lake Perris.  He enjoys duck hunting amongst the small ponds in duck blinds constructed by the members.

 
Because it is a non-profit corporation, the members must have a meeting of all members each year.  This year, only 8 members came to the meeting, but it is possible for a member to give another member his proxy for voting purposes.  Duane, being the secretary, attends every meeting.
 
 
Most years we are lucky enough to have the annual meeting at Doheny State Beach.  Not only is it at the ocean, but they also have a large grassy area with trees, and picnic tables on a concrete patio.
 
 
A short walk takes you to the beach itself, which is gorgeous, and at this time extremely uncrowded.
 
 
This year, Duane's son Scott came with us, and while the meeting was being held, he and I took a stroll down by the water.
 
 
You can also rent bicycles of all kinds and have a ride on the many trails around the area.
 
 
Many thanks to the members who brought in a Taco Man dinner, and to the ladies in the background who arranged all the dishes and heated the tortillas.  It was delicious!
 
 
A good time was had by all, we were well fed, and what a bonus it was that the Club was able to obtain a liquor license for the day.
