As they say in New Orleans,"Laissez les bons temps Rouler". Let the good times roll. Fun and building friendships is what we're all about.
We are Branch 146 of SIR Inc., part of a larger organization with branches in many communities in Central and Northern California. The purpose of SIR is to provide opportunities for retired and near-retirement men to socialize. The number of members in Branch 146 is about 245 - large enough to provide opportunities for members to renew old friendships and to develop new friends by participating in any number of many activities that might be of interest to them. Our members come from all over the East Bay. Branch 146 holds its luncheons in the Boundary Oak Golf Course Clubhouse in Walnut Creek on the 2nd Thursday of the month.
Branch 146 members are a congenial group of guys. A lot of friendships have been formed over the years since the branch's inception in 1988. Energy and a willingness to contribute to the good of the branch are personal qualities that have been dominant factors in our steady growth.
Golfing is among our largest activity, involving many members. Foursomes for regular Tuesday golf are selected randomly using an innovative computer program, which ensures that members play with different players each week. In addition, there are many "away golf" outings throughout the year, some of which include golfers from other branches. For the more "sedentary-inclined," Mexican Train dominoes is another major activity, with nine groups meeting monthly. Bocce ball, cycling, duplicate bridge, party bridge, cribbage, and hiking, are also part of the branch's activities scheduled at least once per month. Many other social groups round out the weekly and monthly social calendars, including cooking groups, fishing, investment, several poker groups, SongSirs, theater, and veterans. Importantly, members' spouses and significant others participate in about half of our activities including dining out, couples' bridge, ladies' day luncheons, Mexican Train dominoes, wine tasting events, and travel both domestically and internationally.
The SIR organization and especially SIR Branch 146 is, at least in the hearts and minds of its members, second to none!
