We had Tony Basile and Roman at our demonstration
at the February meeting. I wanted to add that Tony, by
trade, is actually a equine dentist. So I'm not sure what
he does for work and what he does for fun except that
he is also an accomplished ball room dancer.
The March meeting has been cancelled to protect our
members from catching the Covid-19 illness. We were
scheduled to have Officer Dave Armstrong of the Cali-
fornia Highway Patrol present a condensed version of
the "Age Well, Drive Smart" program which familiarizes
senior drivers with current and new driving laws as well
as safe driving practices. We hope to have him sched-
uled again for a later luncheon.

Jerry Thomas, Br 49 Treasurer
I attended the State Town Hall meeting in
Yuba City chaired by Ed Benson, SIR President.
There were three main subjects that were dis-
cussed that I would like to bring to Branch 49 members.
BRANDING - Since it is no longer a requirement for mem-
bers to be retired we have been rebranded as just SIR,
Social Activities for Men, not Sons in Retirement
MISSION STATEMENT- The mission of SIR is to en-
hance the lives of our members through fun activities,
luncheons, and events while making Friends for Life.
RECRUTMENT- Our membership continues to decline. The
only way SIR will survive is by the present membership
actively recruiting new members. We should all think of
ways we can attract new members. The two main reasons
men join SIR are for specific activities and social contact.
If anyone has ideas for new activities;
feel free to bring them to my attention.
Big SIR— Al Edwards
Great month for new members, March, 2016. Pictured are
“new” members PBS Jerry Helmey, Membership chairman
Joel Reisman, and PBS Ed Puchi.
Also, long time SIR fixture Claghorn Leghorn.
Bill Cobb recently had spinal surgery, and the recovery
did not go well. He came home from the hospital, and a
day or two later, fell and could not get up. He was
taken back to the hospital, and subsequently moved to
Manor Care Rehab hospital in Citrus Heights at Bird-
cage and Uplands. His wife told me he will be there for
a week or more, is about to start physical therapy.
Charley Novello is home, being quiet, goes to the Doc-
tor next week and hopes to be able to start physical
therapy at that time.
Bud Powers and his wife Bernie have moved to the
Stock Ranch Retirement community in Citrus Heights.
Both have had multiple medical problems recently, and
decided that they could not manage their house any
longer. I visited Bud and Bernie last week, and they
seem content to be in a safe and comfortable place.
Paul Kuzmich suffered a small setback in his recovery
when the latest scan revealed that one of the cancer-
ous nodules on his lung had increased in size. He will
resume chemo, and meanwhile continues to live his life,
planning a fishing trip to Reno to pursue the wily trout.
Dan Belsito, who fell on the golf course a couple of
months ago remains sidelined. The workup of his injury
revealed a cardiac problem, and he will have a heart
valve replaced as soon as he can stand the surgery.
Herb Wilstatter has died. He passed away in mid-
February. I have not been able to get any further in-
formation regarding services.
Bob Garcia is taking a break from SIR to be with his
wife, who suffered a massive stroke a couple of years
ago, and after failing to recover in a meaningful way,
has decided to discontinue all medications and let na-
ture take its course. I offer Bob and Donna my
prayers, and I know that all of us here do as well.
There are few happy exits from life.

Library Problem: SIRS Book Exchange. As many of you
know, after a book sits in the exchange with no action af-
ter 3 luncheons, we donate the book{s} to the Folsom Li-
brary. Thus we have a PROBLEM: our available books for
the exchange has now reached a very low inventory.
WHAT TO DO?
The exchange needs donations. Thus please check your
closets, under the bed, your family, friends, etc. and bring
what you uncover to our next SIRS luncheon. Specifically
we prefer recently published (past decade) fiction
(prominent authors preferred) books but will also welcome
non-fiction books.
Your donations will be appreciated by
our SIRS many readers.
REMEMBER THAT READING HELPS KEEP THE BRAIN
CELLS ALIVE AND WELL AS WE ENTER OUR
TWILIGHT YEARS!

The winter season finally has ended. It seemed that
even though we had a very wet winter last year that we
had more good days then we had this year. Virtually every
week had something different going on: Rain, fog, mud,
wind. And now the first two weeks of the summer season
have been plagued by high winds.
The first tournament of the year
was held at Timber Creek.
Don Fuller was low gross with an 86 won the A
flight.
Ron Peters won the B flight with a net 72.
Ed Puchi won the C flight with a net 74.
Our Kickoff luncheon at Cattlemen’s was very popular.
The food was great and the service terrific.
Our first tournament in March was at Empire Ranch.
Once again it was very windy. It made for a very challeng-
ing day. For the most part, pace of play was good.
Tom Coultas won the A flight with low gross
score of 82 and net 68.
Gary Veffredo won the B flight with a net 68.
Steve Sims won the C flight with a net 68.
Jon Hillegeist won the D flight with a net 69.
