Join us on this night for the business of the club, socializing with other like-minded mountain people, and a special presentation by New Mexico’s Duke Pigott, who will talk about his bid to successfully summit the seven continents highest peaks. Here is a brief synopsis:
Climbing Around the World: Duke Pigott will join us to discuss his recent completion of climbing the 7 summits. Come hear his story, see his photos and learn about what it takes to tackle the highest peak on each continent and set a Guiness World Record by playing a guitar at over 29,000 feet.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS, PLEASE READ!!!
Our general meetings have moved to a new location, The State Bar of New Mexico, located at 5121 Masthead St NE near Jefferson between San Antonio and Paseo del Norte Blvd. Keep in mind potential traffic delays and closures along I-25. The new meeting spot is very impressive, with a large and safe parking area, an auditorium with comfortable theater seating, great sound, and a large format screen.
With the new location, there are new rules that we have to follow along with changes to the meeting's format:
The State Bar requires that the doors remained locked while the meeting and presentation are taking place in the auditorium. To accommodate people who may arrive late, we will begin the period of socializing and snacks first, from 7:00 to 7:20 followed by the business of the club which will include announcements, trip reports, and items for members to vote on.
During the snacks and socializing, there will be a greeter to let you in. We ask that you please make an effort to get there before 7:20. If you arrive later, we will tape a sign on the door with a number to text where someone will either come and let you in or you will receive a return text with the code and instructions on how to enter the building. The main entrance is on the south side of the building where we will display our clubs' NMMC sandwich panel. I included a picture of the main entrance.
This is a free event where guests are encouraged. You DO NOT have to be a member of our club to attend.
