Dine Out Single Sirs
.
The Dine Out Singles activity is a social group of SIR men who meet monthly on the first Tuesday of each month at a local restaurant. Dress is casual and discussions usually center on current events and whatever is on your mind.
The get-togethers usually last for an hour and half to two hours. Watch the Hotline articles or this website for announcements on each month’s venue.
If you wish to join in on a fun evening contact either Glenn, Don or the host for the month.
