Welcome to SIR Branch 101
Big SIR, Bob Johnson – October 2025
-condensed from the October bulletin-
At our September luncheon we enjoyed a presentation, with many beautiful photos, about traveling in Morocco by Vicki Stephens. For our upcoming luncheon on October 16th the speaker will be Tony Mazzucco, who will give an overview of the new James Webb Space Telescope, the world’s most powerful space telescope. This will be a really fascinating presentation. Don’t miss it! Hope to see you on the 16th.

Notice
A memorial service for our dear friend Roger Everett will be held on Saturday, December 20, at 2:00 pm at Asbury United Methodist Church.

SIR (formerly referred to as “Sons In Retirement”) is a nonprofit public benefit corporation for retired men. The purpose of SIR is to provide members with a variety of activities while renewing friendships and making new friends. Having fun is our goal. Starting in 2023, a small yearly fee has been required from branch members. This provides funding for special events such as a yearly picnic and holiday dinner. The only other requirement for membership is that you need to be able to attend 5 of 10 monthly luncheons, with some exceptions. From its inception in 1958 SIR has grown to over 10,000 members. Branch 101 in Livermore has about 132 active members.
