Welcome to the Sons In Retirement (SIR) Damian Reynolds Branch One website! SIR is a state wide organization devoted to help retired men to 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 April 10th meeting, the regular entrée is Chicken Piccata (lemon, caper, butter sauce); the alternate entrée is Sausage with Onions & Peppers; and the vegetarian entrée is Pasta with Vegetables and Marinara Sauce. 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.
