Message From the Big SIR

 

Sons In Retirement is a nonprofit public benefit corporation for retired men, devoted to the promotion of independence and dignity of retirement. SIR’s purpose is to assist men in renewing former friendships and provide opportunities to make new friends through association with other retirees. The only requirement for membership is that a man be retired. Membership is open to men retired from FULLTIME gainful occupation, regardless of age, race, color or religion. 

We, your fellow retired men from nearly all professions including business, science, engineering, legal, medicine, and education, invite all who meet this criteria to consider joining SIR (Sons in Retirement).Founded in 1958 for the strict enjoyment of retired men, the SIR organization currently has 134 branches with nearly 17,000 members in northern California. There are no initiation fees. Dues are collected to contribute to the expenses of the branch. Volunteers man all office and administrative positions from the statewide organization down through the Region, Area, and the local Branch. The SIR organization exists strictly for the enjoyment and dignity of retired men.

Branch 5 of the SIR organization provides an opportunity to participate in various activities; be as active as each of us wants; develop new associations and still be with old friends and be able to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow members. We never forget the primary purpose of SIR is to have fun. Although these activities are constantly changing depending on the desires of the members our most popular one is golf and the principal activity, our monthly luncheon held on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Michaels at Shoreline Restaurant, 2960 N. Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043.

The Branch Executive Committee (BEC), composed of the elected officers and directors of the Branch, meets at 10:00 AM in the Pro Shop Conference Room of Shoreline Golf Course, before the monthly luncheon meetings.  Minutes of the BEC Meeting are published in the monthly Bulletin.  All Branch members are invited to attend the BEC meetings.
