Big Sir
Greetings fellow SIRs. Glad to see the warmer weather which is allowing us to enjoy more and more outdoor activities....
We are continuing our efforts to add new members to our branch and are seeing results. At the June luncheon and at upcoming events, I'll hand out some introduction cards to all members. We'd like you to write your contact name and phone number on each card and then carry a few cards with you. If you meet a potential new member, hand them a card and tell them about our branch. Our experience shows that one on one contact is the best way to add new members and these cards should help us increase our membership.

At our last monthly meeting, we recognized and awarded our three Honorary Lifetime members, Tom Reif, Buck Helsel and Frank Narcisso. At the June meeting, please come and help us recognize two more of our branch members with the Distinguished Service Award for their contributions to our branch and show your appreciation.
Our speaker in June is a recently joined member to our branch, TJ Mcgrath. We appreciate having members of our branch speak on items of interest at our monthly meetings. If you have a topic that you'd like to share at an upcoming luncheon. Please contact Little SIR John Roberts...
Best regards
