I want to welcome our new board members, Michelle O’Mally (VP) and Mike Cassisa (Marketing & Communications), and thank our outgoing board members, Chris Calder (President) and Russ Goebel (VP), for their service to the club. And I also want to thank the current board members who agreed to stay on for another year, Catherine Maple Cross (Treasurer), Cindy Stanley (Secretary), Julie Dreike (Ski Trips) and Phil Dreike (Membership). We have a very hard-working board of directors, and I am very thankful for them.

At our recent Annual Meeting, we voted our new Board in and heard about the wonderful plans being worked on for the coming year. We will be celebrating our 60th anniversary at a special celebration event this fall! The planning committee has some great ideas for the event, and you will be seeing more about this in the coming months. Our May SNO (Sitzmarkers Night Out) will be a get together at the Park Square Market. In mid-June our SNO event will be our annual Isotopes game including a tail gate gathering before the game. In late August, one of our members will be hosting an RV/cabin event at the Angel Fire Resort. Our Ski Trip director reported that planning is underway for several trips for this next ski season, starting with a trip to Wolf Creek in January and a trip to Monarch in early February. We’ll get additional information posted as these plans are firmed up. Check out the pictures from the Annual Meeting on the Social Events Gallery page.

Another major initiative that we announced was the formation of a temporary committee to develop a long-term Marketing Plan for the club. There was a lot of interest by members to be involved in this effort. I look forward to some great ideas to come out of this committee.

I also want to encourage folks to use our new website and our Facebook page to keep up with our activities and to share your experiences with the club. It’s an exciting time to reflect back on our history and share pictures and stories about the club, and to look forward to our continued adventures together.

Welcome.

We are coming to the end of the ski season, hopefully everyone has enjoyed these trips. The lack of  snow has not dampened the enthusiasm.    

The 60th anniversary of the club is in April, event(s) are being planned for this exciting event. Very few clubs last this long, a testimony to all those who have worked so hard to keep the group going. 

 “Long live the NM Sitzmarkers Ski and Social Club”.

The Board will be discussing various new ways of getting together on and off the slopes at our next meeting. 

The last trip for this year will be to Wolf Creek March 6 to 8 (space may be limited).

Chris Calder

2025-2026 President
