I thank all of our SIR members who contributed to the advertising campaign, we have collected $910 of the $1000 we committed to from a show of hands at our luncheon last year.

    We are still encouraging you to pay your annual dues this month by sending a check to SIR Branch 144, to 2509 Portofino Dr. Modesto, CA 95356.

    Some of our branch’s plans on having a picnic luncheon at a community park this summer and as these plans become firmer, I will pass on the information.  We should try and meet and engage with other branches when possible.

    With Gaylan King now stepping down from the Membership Director, I am asking for someone in our branch to volunteer to step in.  It will not require a significant amount of time.  We on the board cannot assume taking on all of these roles, we need members to step in, even if it is only for 6 months.

    Please consider this and at our next meeting please meet with me or contact me on my cellphone 415-420-2440 or email fgonza925@aol.com

    Whenever you encounter anyone who you think would benefit from becoming a SIR member, invite them to join us for lunch and point out our bowling, golf, and dining out activities.

        Big Sir Fernando Gonzalez Branch 144
