PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I am Nukhet Saxby, the new President of Vail Club 50. I have been a member of this great, all-volunteer club since June 2021. With hundreds of social and physical activities to participate in, joining Vail Club 50 has lead me to living an active and healthy lifestyle and discovering so much in Vail Valley. Having benefitted from Vail Club 50 activities tremendously, I am happy to give back to the club. I am looking forward to working with the Board of Directors, Coordinators and Leaders of this very successful club and meeting members and listening to their suggestions and comments.

My husband and I have lived in different countries around the world and always been involved in every community we were part of. Coming to Colorado has been no different. Since I joined the club, I have lead hikes and snowshoes, hosted social events, founded and coordinated a new activity, and for the last two years served as the Summer Sports Director. I learned so much about Vail Valley and our community in the process.

It has been my great pleasure working with Alan Solow, the President of the club for the past 2 years. Vail Club 50 thrived under Alan’s leadership. We express our gratitude to Alan for his outstanding work. We are also thankful to the wonderful work that the outgoing Board Directors have done: Jimmy Arbour (Past President), Nina Wise (Treasurer), Karen Avery (Winter Socials), Wendy Klein (Winter Sports), Meg Wagner and Lisa Simek (Summer Socials). Your time and efforts are much appreciated.

I am looking forward to working with the new Board of Directors: Alan Solow (Past President), Bruce Crow (Treasurer), Ken Wagner (Secretary), Ellen Keszler (Membership), Andy Franklin (Web Master), Dennis Wike (Singles Steering Committee), Steve Edelstein (Winter Sports), Beth Carpentier and Sherri Hahn (Winter Socials), Cristi Musser (Summer Sports), Linda Krauss and Gail Grillo (Summer Socials). Thank you all for stepping up to contribute to Vail Club 50.

Vail Club 50 is a VOLUNTEER-RUN club and every member is encouraged to contribute to the club. Leading an event with a fellow volunteer is a great way to meet new people, contribute to our community and make friends along the way. I hope you all will take your time to explore the club’s website, not only to register yourselves to the hundreds of fun events, but also, to learn more about the club, its governance, year-around happenings and to have a look at the great selection of pictures at the photo gallery.

As the new calendar year starts on October 1, I wish Vail Club 50 and its members a very successful year.

Regards,
Nukhet Saxby
President, Vail Club 50
