John Roberts Big Sir
Greetings to all my fellow SIRs and Happy 2024!Greetings to all my fellow SIRS
By now you have settled into the new year and forgotten some of your resolutions. After a rough start with the cancellation of January’s luncheon meeting we have righted the ship and have a great venue for February 1. Dublin Ranch Golf Club promises a tasty lunch for us and apparently a lot of you have missed your friends because the response we received on the website has been very positive. This will be the largest lunch meeting since I joined the group.
I encourage everyone to reactivate their interest in small group activities. We have seen in our surveys that people are interested in new group activities but someone needs to take the lead and organize the first meeting. Use this luncheon to make contact with people who have expressed an interest in joining the same activity that you did. Recent emails have reminded us of what we indicated as interesting so let’s get busy and have some fun.
Our mission is to enhance the lives of our members through fun activities, luncheons and events while making friends for life.
Directions to Dublin Ranch: From 580 take the Fallon Road exit northbound and proceed up the hill about 1 mile. Turn right when you see the overpass at Signal Hill Road. Please park to the left of the driveway.
Hit em straight,
Big SIR
John
