We hope you will mark your calendar and join us each month as we welcome guest speakers and schedule special events which showcase a variety of political and human interest topics. When time permits, we have a “Did You Know?” presentation highlighting one of our Nation’s past presidents. We always encourage our members to provide suggestions on growing our club in an atmosphere of friendship, learning, and outreach to our community.

In addition to articles in the Roundup each month, we post notices each Monday in the SBR Ranch Reminder. Our President, CJ Utecht, also sends out frequent notices via email to remind everyone of upcoming club activities.
