Big Sir Bevin Hong Big SIR Message – JulyI’ve come to realize that retirement is surprisingly busy. I’m not exactly sure how that happened. Back when I was working, I imagined retirement would mean endless free time. Instead, my calendar is somehow full, and I still wonder where the day went.
That’s why I’m glad we’re doing something a little different this month.
Instead of our usual luncheon at the golf course, we’ll be having a special BBQ luncheon on July 9 at the Highland Oaks Cabana in Pleasanton. Think less “formal meeting” and more “summer backyard gathering”, good food, relaxed conversation, and hopefully plenty of laughs.
And here’s the best part: wives and significant others are invited. They’re welcome to join us and finally meet the cast of characters whose names they’ve been hearing about all year.
For those of you who regularly attend, thank you for helping make our branch what it is. For those we haven’t seen in a while, July would be a perfect time to come back. No speeches about attendance, no guilt, just come hungry.
I hope to see all of you on July 9. Bring your appetite, your stories, and maybe a little sunscreen.

If necessary there’s a lot of participants that can loan these items upon request.

If you’re unfamiliar with any of the games, each can be explained or you can observe. Each participant starts with $20 worth of chips. Bets are $0.25 to start with three possible $0.50 raises for each dealing. Last bets are up to $1.00 with three raises.
