Say hi if you see him, introduce yourself and make him feel welcome.

Ladies Picnic

The Picnic is fast approaching, June 17, 2026. It promises to be a great event. It will be held at Jimmy’s Lakeside Restaurant (outside venue) at the Windsor Golf Course, 1320 19th Hole Drive, Windsor, California. Social Hour is at 11am and the Buffet Lunch is at Noon. This includes chicken, tri-tip, potato salad, green salad, rolls, dessert, wine, beer, soft drinks, the raffle, Bingo (tentative), Music, Conversation and Fun.

And if anyone can donate wine please let us know. Many of the women seem to prefer Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. All for Only $50.00 Per Person

Payment accepted in person by Garry anywhere, including at Coffee, or at the April 15th or May 20th luncheons. If you cannot make the luncheons or find Garry in person, you can mail your check to Garry Trojanowski, 9575 Wellington Circle, Windsor, CA. 95492. Please make it out to “SIR Branch 176”. We have no ticket sales after June 1st since we need to notify Jimmy about the number of attendees.

New Bocce Courts

A joint effort of the Town of Windsor and a work crew from our SIR branch has resulted in returning the two courts behind the Community Center to a playable state. This will provide SIR bocce players with 3 courts to allow more players at a time. Plans are still being developed as to how players will determine which courts to use. Bocce will now be held at both locations on Thursday at 10:00 A.M.

Updated Members Page

Check out the updated Members page on the website under Branch 176 heading. We have increased the size of the photos and we have tried to get as many profiles as possible. If you are one of those without a profile or with an older one that needs to be updated you can begin by going to the Branch 176 tab, clicking on forms and downloading the Profile Guide. This will guide you with suggestions of the things about you that our members might be interested to know. Our Profile editor Gary Good will be happy to help you craft your life story.

Branch 176 Business Cards

We have received our Branch 176 business cards. These can be distributed to potential new members to help them get in touch with us. You can add your name and number at the bottom if you wish to continue with the contact. You can get some from Garry Trojanowski.

Meeting Attendance

To benefit fully from your membership in Windsor Sir we strongly recommend that you make an effort to attend the monthly meeting. We encourage you to make the effort to come, enjoy lunch and be informed by our speaker.
We are aware that some members have expressed issues with dietary restrictions. Jimmy's has expressed a willingness to try to accommodate members with restrictions. If you need a modified lunch please let Steve De La Montanya know by the Monday before the meeting if you need accommodation so we can notify Jimmy's.
If you need transportation let Chris Roach know and he will put you in touch with someone to drive you.

New Member Application Changes

We have a revised membership application now available. As part of the recruitment process we now ask potential members to attend two SIR events before being considered for membership. This is designed to make for a more informed choice to join. If you bring a new potential member please fill out the Visitor Registration Form and give it to Gary or Larry.

Food Bank Volunteers

We are looking for someone to step up and volunteer to lead this activity. If that is you please let Tom Palmer know.

Be Friendly

It has been pointed out that we have lost several potential members because they didn't feel welcomed and accepted. If you see a new member or potential member take a moment to introduce yourself and get to meet them.
