Just a note about who we are.  SIR is a Social Organization of retired men who get together several times per month, and usually around food, where you can meet new friends, share your latest adventures, hear a good speaker, and always to get some enjoyment from socializing with men like yourself.  We give you a reason to get out of the house!

You are welcome to join us at our monthly luncheon gathering. We meet at Hodel’s every 3rd Thursday at 11:30 In the  Kern Room, which is the separate building westside of the main parking lot. You will share an enjoyable Hodel’s meal, make new friends as you do, and listen to a good speaker.  Meals are still only $20 cash (no credit cards please).  Also you will want to purchase some raffle tickets to participate in the three chances to win and This might be your lucky day!

Our mission is to enhance the lives of our members through fun activities, luncheons and events while making Friends for Life.  SIR is a non-profit state – wide organization.  We have no dues nor initiation fees, and no assessments.  We subscribe to no political or religious entity.  We get together several times each month for the fun of it, just to enjoy old friends and to make new ones.                                                           Questions?           Call one of the members above.        Come join us.            You will be glad you did.
