Big SIR
Adrian Verduzco
Welcome to December everyone.
I hope all had a great Thanksgiving and spent time with family and
friends. Speaking of thanks, I would like to thank our Board of Directors
for their help and good cheer during this year. It’s a good group and
their guidance makes Sir 34 a successful organization. My gratitude to
the many volunteers at every lunch who’s efforts make our meetings
most enjoyable.
Our next big SIR for 2019 will be Jim Benham and Little Sir will be Bill
Staack. They will both bring fresh ideas and will make 2019 a good one.
Just a reminder, that our Christmas party is December 6 at Castlewood

Happy Holidays to all.
Thank you

The following are places to go Dancing which my opinion are very good and reasonably prices:
- Rossmoor Senior Community: last Sunday of the month, great dance floor, DJ music, and a is only $5 per person.
- Merry Mixers at the Elks Club in Walnut Creek: twice a month – 1st and 3th Friday of each month, live band, smaller dance floor but fun.
- Castle Rock Restaurant, Livermore: every Sunday and Tuesday night. Live band.
- Two Left Feet, Danville, every Sunday afternoon, DJ music, and nice dance floor.
