What is SIR
We are the local SIR branch, a place where men in Vallejo, Benicia and American Canyon area of Solano County can have fun together through activities and companionship. Our Branch has about 150 members ranging in age from their 50’s to 90’s. We meet monthly, usually in Vallejo, and have continuing activities such as Golf, Bowling, Bocce Ball, Bridget, Wine Tasting and various special events including trips to local attractions, and areas of special interest.
The SIR organization itself is a non-profit corporation for men with about 9,000 members in 90 Branches throughout Northern California.
We prohibit discussions of politics and religion or the selling of anything to any member. All branch leadership and our State administration is done by volunteer members.
Our goal is to have fun and assist men in making new friends through SIR activities, having fun is our goal. Membership is open to men, regardless of age, race, color or religion.
History of Branch 88
Branch 88 was founded in the 1980s and has gained in membership steadily over the past years, some due to combining with another branch. We currently have over 150 members and a large number of activities, that are well attended.
