SONS IN RETIREMENT

Sons In Retirement (SIR) is a non profit public benefit corporation for retired men. The purpose of SIR is to assist men in renewing friendships and making new friends through SIR activities. Having fun is our goal. There are no fees or assessments. The only requirement is that a man is retired from full time employment.

SIR is not a service club and we do not raise money, flip pancakes or endorse any particular religion or political party. We don't have fees or dues and all expenses are paid by voluntary contributions.

We pledge allegiance to the flag, sing "God Bless America" and say grace before each lunch meeting. If you're interested in associating with a great group of guys who do not have to prove who they are and come from all walks of life, then join SIR.
