Outings are non-scheduled activities which happen when there is interest in specific events like wine/beer tastings, movies, theater/shows, ball games, etc. These are usually one-day events, but can become overnight events. When the travel becomes longer, it is usually the State SIR organization which arranges these travel arrangements.

Parties (also called Special Events) are regularly scheduled that occur once a year around a theme, like our Feb. Chinese New Year Party, June Garden/Bocce Party, July BYO Picnic, Sept. Tiburon Bay Cruise, and Dec. Holiday Party.

If you want to get more out of your SIR membership, then become involved in these activities, outings, travel and parties.  Spouses and guests are invited to join, which always enhances our enjoyment.  Keeping yourself active and being social is a key to maintaining  both good physical and mental health.
