LAKEPORT, Calif. – Branch 168 of the Sons In Retirement (SIR) got its spring activities off to a good start with 48 members taking part in the opening golf tournament at the Windsor Golf Course on April 10.

The very next day, Thursday, April 11, a group of 44 enjoyed a “Day at the Races” at Golden Gate Fields. The trip included bus transportation, a full lunch at the “Turf Club,” admission and program.

There also was a four man, two best balls tournament at the Aetna Springs course on Wednesday.

The golf tournaments scheduled for May are: May 8 at the Colusa Golf Course (Medal Play), and May 22, a four man two best balls at Hidden Valley Lake Golf Course.

At the April luncheon, Jim Cary, the golf chairman for branch 133 and 168, updated the members on the status of the golf tournaments in Reno on June 11-13 and, in Monterey, on September 24-26. Both still have room for more participants.  

Bob Specht, the travel chair, reported that there is still room on the bus for the trip to Reno in June to see the show “Menopause, The Musical.” He has scheduled this to coincide with the Reno golf tournament so both golfers and non-golfers can enjoy the show.
