Happy Fourth Of July At ORCC

One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, One Nation evermore!

Getting Underway!

We all collect around 5:00 PM at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach! Most everyone "knows the drill" but we do have some newbies! We host this birthday celebration because it is time for family and friends to come together and visit, share, and watch the kids, grandkids, and in some cases, great grandkids grow.
