Committees

Canceled

From the Big SIR: As you are all aware, we continue to cancel our luncheon meetings for all our safety.

Things are not looking good for any Large SIR

function for the rest of the year

. We will probably even have to change our location for the future luncheons. Our present

facility, as are most facilities, is too small to

allow for a crowd our size with the Social

Distancing recommendations to sit and

have lunch together.

The

Branch Executive Committee (BEC)

continues to look into ways that we

may be able to one day safely gather,

maybe in smaller groups. With all

that in mind the BEC has voted to cancel

our normal annual Christmas

Party. We haven’t given up totally on

Christmas yet. If things change it

may allow us to do something a little

different this year. We will Continue

to try to keep all members informed of any

annual Christmas Party. We haven’t given up totally on Christmas yet. If things change it may allow us to do something a little different this year. We

will continue to try to keep all members informed of any plans. We have also had to cancel the Golf Awards Luncheon in that it too would not be safe for

that many members to meet face to face. In efforts to keep in touch with branch membership, we continue to use our member calling system to check on all

our welfare and to gather your opinions for future actions. Your Branch Executive Committee still has the invitation to all branch 106 members to join us at

our monthly Branch Executive Committee Meetings held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. Due to Covid and shortage of seating we are limited to 5

members joining us per month. If you are interested in seeing and hearing how your BEC works please contact me by the 15th of each month at 707-999-

6845 or my email address at newman.rick@yahoo.com.If any of our members/sir’s friends are having problems or could use a little help, reach out to a member on the Branch Executive Committee so we can investigate how we can help each other.

Jim Evans is still keeping track of our members through his Sunshine Report. Dennis Dix and the Golf leaders are staying on top of the golf

developments and we have been able to do some limited golfing so stay in touch. Keep us informed and we can keep you informed.

Gentlemen

As you're aware, the final round of our Club Championship will be

Wednesday Oct 14, 2020. No Shotgun start.

We've had a chance to review funds and we will be paying out over $2,000

in prize money. Because we have had fewer expenditures, the Club Champion, DFL winner and 4 flight winners will have their 2021 NCGA

dues paid by Sirs Br 106 Golf.

Monday, Oct 19, 2020, we'll be back at Rancho. At noon on the 19th the

course will be closed , but we can finish our rounds. Monday, Oct 26, 2020, because of the aerating and sanding at Rancho,

we'll be playing at Cypress Lakes (TAFB) and only have 11 tee times, and

have a few players signed up. We'll sign up and pay in advance, $37, which

includes weekly tournament entry. Have a good weekend and see you Wednesday.

Finally, considering the age of our players, some of us might be overweight

and I think everyone has other risk factors, Diabetes, high blood pressure,

cholesterol, and so forth, and reviewing the status with the Big Sir, Future Big Sir, our hosts, and checking with the Department of Health guidelines

and other members of our group,

WE ARE CANCELING THE CHAMPIONSHIP LUNCHEON,

in the interest of everyone.

Norms Comedy Spot

A man returned to his parked BMW to find the headlights broken with considerable

damage to the front end of the vehicle. There was no sign of the offending car, but

he was relieved to see a note under the windshield wiper. The note read, “Sorry I

backed into your car. The witnesses who saw the accident are nodding and smiling

at me because they think I am acting responsibly by leaving my name and address

and other particulars. But I’m not. So long sucker”

A completely naked guy walks into a bar and orders two shots of vodka. The female

bartender looks at him intently scanning his body up and down. The customer

states to the bartender, “What’s the matter haven’t you seen a naked man before?”

The bartender replies, “ Yes I have but I’m just trying to figure out where you keep

the money to pay for the drinks.

The Chairman of the Board called me to his office to tell me the good news. I was being promoted to Vice President of Corporate Research and Planning. And of course I was elated but that didn’t stop me from asking for my new title to be changed to Vice President of Planning and Research. “Why the Chairman asked?” “Because” I said, “Our organization uses abbreviated job titles and I don’t want to known as “VP of CRAP”.

KEEP SMILING FOLKS THAT WAY PEOPLE WILL WONDER WHAT YOU DID!
