I want to thank Jim for his service to Branch 49 and in particular his work in arranging for excellent speakers as well as his suggestions and ideas for improving our branch. We wish Jim well in his future endeavors. The Branch Executive Committee has appointed Bob Eplett as Little Sir. Bob is very active in the Golf Committee and has negotiated with the various golf courses for our golf tournaments. He brings enthusiasm, wit and common sense to the operation of the Branch. When you check in for lunch please take 2 or 3 business cards to add your contact info and give to people you would like to invite to a meeting. There are also copies of the 2015 Branch Roster at the entry desk, if you need one. Please destroy any old copies instead of just throwing them away, so that our contact info is protected. April 24-26 is the Golf Expo at Haggin Oaks Golf Course. Our Branch will have a booth again this year, sharing it with Branch 93. We will be reaching out to senior men to join Sirs. If you would like to volunteer for a two-hour time in the booth, let Bob Eplett or Nick Poronowicz know. Enjoy the spring weather, but hope for rain, and bring a guest to lunch!

We had a great turnout and the food was excellent. We were all very happy to see Bill Southworth return from a 10 day stay in the hospital. The winter season was very challenging. The weather did not cooperate very well and some of the courses we played were very difficult. In the last winter tournament Dave Ewing won the A flight (about time), Bill Mutschler won the B flight, and Ray Jerd won the C flight. Tom Shigemoto, Bill Mutschler, Jon Hillegeist, and Jerry Thomas had an outstanding winter season. Lets see if they can continue the good play in the summer.
