SIR Branch 8

We are pulling out all the stops for our August 13th lunch meeting by having Franc D’Ambrosio, one of today’s leading Broadway talents perform for us. He will be singing selections from Broadway and Hollywood musicals and will be accompanied by one of the Bay Area’s top pianists, playing on a Steinway 7’ grand piano.

We have made it easy for you to invite guests, and not just any guests. Bring your wife to enjoy a fantastic performer. And while you’re at it, invite your friends who could be candidates to join Sir. And their wives are welcome.

I’m asking you to please make a special effort to let us know as soon as possible that you and, if possible guests, plan to attend.  We must confirm our arrangements with the Hilton very soon. 

Please fill out the enclosed sign-up form and send it to Ed Dijkman, 5091 Murchio Drive, Concord 94521. To download the form right click on it and “copy” go to Word or other word processing software you use and open an blank document and click “paste”, the form will appear.

We are rearranging and expanding some information under the new menu heading “Member information“. This is a work in progress by our Attendance Secretary as he figures out the most effective way to arrange the data. 

The branch member’s photo gallery has moved under that new menu item, but it is also available by going directly to  https://www.sirbr8.com/gallery/   (This is a live link, or you can copy/paste it into your browser)

Unfortunately, one of our Luncheon Cashiers, Harry Shadeck
has had to drop out of the position.

Here’s a great way to meet the guys, put the names with the faces.
This is a great opportunity to step up and fill a need.
Training provided.

If you can help, please call or e-mail our Treasurer, Dennis Fitzpatrick at:

On Monday 11th December we held a successful holiday Ladies Day Lunch for 279 Sirs and their beautifully dressed spouses.  The food, Christmas decorations and ambiance were excellent.  Many thanks to Round Hill Country Club, the local merchants, golf courses and Branch 8 Wine Finders who provided wonderful door prizes.  Many more thank yous to the gentlemen of the Ladies Day Committee who ensured the success of the day, despite some best efforts, from the chairman, to make success difficult.  I appreciate all your help.
