July 2026 Prez Sez
We had two very successful club events in July. On July 4th we had our annual 4th of July cookout at the home of one of our members. We had 46 members attend, including 10 new members (5 brand new and 5 former members rejoining). Take a look at the pictures at the 4th of July Cookout post on our social gallery page.
The second event was the July SNO at Santa Fe Brewery to watch The Turner and Grimes Trio, featuring our very own Michael Grimes! We had a good turnout. The music was wonderful and the visiting with fellow Siztzmarkers, both old and new, was fun. Visit our social gallery to view pictures of the event (including a short video).
Our next social event is the RV/Camping event at the Angel Fire Resort. There is still time to make a reservation at the resort, and to let our trip sponsor, Phil Newman, know you are coming. Check out the event at RV/Camping at Angel Fire Resort on our events page.
We have set dates for ski trips this coming season. Current proposed dates include Wolf Creek – January 8-10, Monarch – February 4-7, and Wolf Creek – March 5-7. We also hope to plan several day trips to Santa Fe, perhaps as often as one weekday and one weekend per month. These may be regularly scheduled dates such as the first Friday and third Sunday of each month. We will continue to let everyone know as we confirm these dates and plans. Keep checking our ski events page for further details.
The planning for our 60th Celebration is continuing with exciting things planned for the event. Visit our website for event details. The celebration will include a slideshow of photos from the past 60 years, raffles featuring items donated by members and partner companies and organizations, and a keynote speaker, Michael Donovan, manager of the Tram. From 7 to 9, Sitzmarker member Michael Grimes will provide our music venue with the Turner & Grimes Trio who will perform acoustic rock, pop, and folk covers from the 60s through the 90s.
I want to continue to encourage our members to visit our website and our Facebook page to stay informed about what is going on. Don’t forget to login when on the website so you can view any items that are posted for members only.
