Big Sir Bevin Hong
March brings the first signs of spring—a season of renewal, growth, and fresh starts. It’s a good time for us to reflect on how we continue growing, not just individually, but as a branch.
SIR is more than a monthly luncheon. It’s a collection of friendships, shared experiences, and opportunities to stay engaged. Growth doesn’t always mean doing more—it can simply mean trying one new activity, welcoming a new member, or stepping forward to help in a small way. Even small efforts help strengthen the whole group.
As we head into spring, I encourage each of you to consider where you might want to grow this year. Maybe it’s reconnecting with someone you haven’t seen in a while. Maybe it’s joining an activity you’ve been curious about. Or maybe it’s offering an idea that could benefit others.
Our branch thrives when we continue to renew our commitment to one another. Thank you for being part of this community and helping it grow.

A Note From Your Little Sir
Our speaker for March will be Elliott Levitsky from Zone 7 Water. Zone 7 provides the water for the Tri Valley agencies that sell it to us. He will provide an overview of how Zone 7 gets its water and our distribution system in the local area.
He will address contamination concerns and explain the steps they take to ensure the water supply system is safe.
Should be a very informative discussion on a very important resource for all of us. Looking forward to seeing everyone on March 5th!
