We are a Mission-driven organization, and our mission guides us in all we do.
Our mission is to enhance the lives of our members through fun activities, luncheons and events while making Friends for Life. SIR is a non-profit public benefit corporation. Learn more about the SIR organization.
Our expectations of our members are few: be a friendly and sociable guy, participate, volunteer as your time and interest allows, spread the word about SIR by inviting guests and help encourage them to join, grow our organization and share in the fun.
