New Mexico State Directors

Lorie & I had the privilege of hosting the Newmar Kountry Klub Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta Special Event. This was the 50th anniversary of the Balloon Fiesta which made everything especially exciting and memorable.

We had a terrific group of Newmar owner attendees. They were fun, helpful, gracious, appreciative and supportive so thank you to all. A special thank you to Rick & Debbie Lemon for sharing their love of Geocaching. We even went on the balloon fiesta field and found a hidden gem. The attendees took so many awesome photos. Thanks to Tim & Silvia Tate for the spectacular photos they took from their early morning balloon ride right over our coaches.

We are already deep into planning for the 2023 event and should have preliminary details on the events calendar by the time this is published.

2023 should be an exciting year for New Mexico Newmar activities. We have new members and a slate of volunteers to expand the officer group at the chapter level. Our spring rally will take place in early May (the 5th-9th). This is a charming mountain tourist town and will be lots of fun. Planning includes an opportunity to see the musical “Cats” at the renowned Spencer Theatre. Thank you, Phil & Cindy Newman, for planning this rally.

We wish you the best during the holidays! We can be reached at email nmnewmar@gmail.com, or cell 505-508-9353.
