Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all the members.

Little SIR - Vic Brewer

My Fellow Sirs,

Gentlemen, we have reached the end of another

year. A year that has been filled with many

wonderful things that we are thankful for.

One of which is the brotherhood of SIRs. I

myself have thoroughly enjoyed my three and a half years

with the Branch, and serving as an officer and Big SIR for

this past year. I want to thank the board members and

officers for all their support during my tenure.

A big thanks to our outgoing treasure Michael McCor-

mack. He started in 2013 and did a fabulous job.

Even though the time was short comparatively, I feel the

board has made good decisions and progressed farther

this year then many years past. Some of our accomplish-

ments will provide the Branch with structure for the fu-

ture. We established Branch 49 bylaws for the first time

in the history of the Branch. This is a living document that

will be edited and polished throughout the years. We also

established yearly dues first time. It's a small amount but

will help the Branch stay strong and be able to pay its bills.

In the coming year there will be a much needed and ac-

tive recruitment program, so that we can have more mem-

bers to sustain the Branch and keep it strong. Our officers

are set for this next year, but I would like to see more

men step up to the plate and volunteer for the coming

years.

There have been changes in the state order to include

more members. Hopefully those changes will help

strengthen SIR in large.

I thank each and every one of you and consider all of you

my friends.

On this 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, I want to say

to all of our surviving veterans of WWII, the most heart-

felt thank you for your service and sacrifice. If not for

you we might not be here.

With that, I close 2016 with God's blessing to you all and

the best of a new year to come.

Big SIR - Robert Eplett
