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

Upcoming Activities

Effective May 1, 2021 all participants at any in-person events are required to execute this waiver (only needs to be completed once, as it will be kept on file). Indoor events require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 3 days.

Beginning in 2022, members must specify if they are coming to lunch and if they desire the regular entrée or the alternate entrée by e-mailing m.kevin.moran@gmail.com or leaving a message on the Superphone (650) 341-8298 at least 6 days in advance. For our July 10th meeting, the regular entrée is Beef Stroganoff over Egg Noodles; the alternate entrée is Chicken Cacciatore; and the vegetarian entrée is Italian Stuffed Bell Pepper. Any reservation must be canceled by the Sunday evening before the lunch, or you are obligated to pay for the ordered lunch if you miss the meeting for any reason.

Luncheon meetings are at 12 noon on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at San Mateo Elks Lodge #1112, 229 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo. Members gather socially starting at 11:00 a.m. All members are also welcome to attend the Branch Executive Committee meeting at 10:00 a.m.
