Welcome to a new and interesting segment of your life.
We, your fellow retired and semi-retired men from all professions including
business, science, engineering, and education invite you to take a look at
SIR (Sons in Retirement). Founded in 1958 for the strict enjoyment of retired
men, the SIR organization has 145 branches with nearly 18,000 members
in northern California, There are no initiation, annual, or monthly dues.
Volunteers man all office and administration positions. The SIR organization
exists strictly for the enjoyment and dignity of retired and semi-retired
men. The original Sons In Retirement articles of incorporation stated:
Now we welcome semi-retired men as well."The specific purpose of this corporation is to provide for the welfare of retired men -- who are pursuing a common goal, the enjoyment of their later years with dignity and pride -- through association with other retired men who also face the particular problems that confront men upon their retirement."
SIR is an organization that allows each of us to participate in various activities;
be as active as each of us wants; develop new associations and still be with
old friends and be able to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow members.
We never forget the primary purpose of SIR is to have fun. Although
these activities are constantly changing depending on the desires of the members
some of the more popular ones are: golf, computers, biking,
bowling, travel,
hiking, tennis,
our newest, book swaps,
and the main activity, our monthly luncheon held
on the third Wednesday of each month at thePalo Alto Elks Lodge at 4249 El
Camino Real in Palo Alto. We now also have theme tables at the luncheons.
 We have set up a site for all our Branch 35 veterans to share stories of their Wartime experience. Please have a look at it. |
