Hope you all had a love-filled Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
We look forward to seeing you all at our annual Holiday Luncheon complete with Holiday music from the Swingin’ Blue Stars of the USS Hornet.

Dear Fellow SIR Members,
A Note from Your Little SIR
As your incoming Big SIR, I’m excited to build on a great year of engaging monthly speakers. We hosted nine terrific presenters this past year, and 2026 is already shaping up to be even better. Our speaker program is just one of the ways SIR brings us together—because that’s really why we exist: to create friendships, keep each other active, and enjoy life in good company.
Beyond our luncheons, we’re fortunate to offer a wide range of activities for every interest: beer and wine tasting, whiskey tasting, bocce, breakfast and coffee groups, computer club, golf, hiking, and poker. These gatherings are at the heart of SIR—places where conversations start, friendships grow, and we stay connected.
I’m looking forward to a year filled with great speakers, meaningful fellowship, and plenty of opportunities to get involved. And I hope to see all of you at our Christmas Luncheon on December 11, 2025
Little Sir Bevin Hong
