Enhancing Your Lifestyle

This “We Are SIR” introductory video was prepared by Branch 35.

Welcome to the SIR Inc. (formerly Sons In Retirement, but now open to all men, retired or not) Damian Reynolds Branch One website! SIR is a state wide organization devoted to help men make friends, lead a meaningful life, and above all to have fun! Branch One is located in and around San Mateo, CA. We have lots of activities and fellowship. Please take a little time to read about us, and talk to our members.  Once you know us, we hope you will join us and Make Friends for Life.
