BIG SIR COMMENTS
SEPTEMBER 2014
Congratulations and best wishes to our
fellow SIRs who stepped forward and accepted
nominations to serve us on the Executive Board.
I’m sure you will wake up in the middle of the night
and wonder “what have I done to deserve this”.
Believe me things always look better in the
morning. I invite all the new officers to attend the
board meeting starting September 8th
. This will
help you adjust to your new duties and make for a
smooth transition in January. Also all members are
welcome to attend the Board meeting and make
presentations and comments.
There are still two positions open that we
need to fill on the Executive Board. They are
LITTLE SIR and SECRETARY. If you are
interested please give me a call at (209)948-2265 or
email sisufinn1@sbcglobal.net. You and I will be
happy that you did.
We have been evaluating a number of
locations for our monthly luncheons for the next
year. The Executive Board will make a decision at
the September 8th
meeting, and it will be announced
at the September 18th
luncheon.
Take note of the notice of the upcoming
ROMEO dinner by Ron Korock. Seating is limited,
the food is great, and the company is the best in
town. Make your reservations ASAP.
Thanks to Kelly Olds, Director of the San
Joaquin County Fair on the presentation on what’s
going on at the Fair Grounds. There is a lot more
than what I expected happening there.
Our September speaker is Capt. Scott
Meadors of the Stockton Police Department. I’m
sure his presentation will be of interest to everyone
who lives in the greater Stockton area.
In closing remember to look out for the kids
going back to school. Remember they are
someone’s grandkids, and they could be yours.
Be safe, take care and have a pleasant fall.
Big SIR, Pete Lepisto
