BIG SIR MESSAGE - Sir Pascual Perez 671-4460
Sharing - enjoying - meeting interesting fellow retirees Why "Sons In Retirement"? Involvement in SIR is a great way to share and enjoy interests we have in common with other men who, like each of us, have reached that time of life where we can relax from the challenges, pressures and accomplishments of full-time employment.
Involvement in SIR provides a great way to meet and socialize with men who come from a variety of unique and interesting backgrounds.
Involvement in SIR provides opportunities to encourage and be encouraged as we face the challenges that are common to each of us in our retirement years.
The SIR Articles of Incorporation say it like this: “The specific purpose of this corporation is to provide for the welfare of retired men . . . who are pursuing a common goal, the enjoyment of their later years with dignity and pride . . . through association with other retired men who also face the particular problems that confront men upon their retirement.”
To this end, our Branch leaders work to provide an increasing number and variety of activities; to coordinate monthly luncheons with interesting and timely speakers; and to involve our wives and lady friends as often as possible. Each August, we elect the men who will serve on our next-year’s Board (a.k.a the Branch Executive Committee or BEC) – men who are committed to moving our Branch ever closer to fulfilling the purpose of Sons In Retirement. P.S. the recycle mobile will be parked in front of the Plaza Room for those interested in getting rid of aluminum cans, plastic bottles and E-waste.
