What is Sitzundjibers?Sitzundjibers is a private singles social club made up of professional men and women aged 50+. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, CEOs, scientists, engineers, technologists, artists, writers, producers, designers and business people. Our members live in Boston and the surrounding suburbs including the north and south shores. We even have a few members from NH, RI and FL. Sitzundjibers Social Club was formed in 1955 by a group of young, single, well-educated, upwardly mobile professionals. They had found themselves missing as active a social life as they would have liked to have. They knew that by organizing themselves into a formal club with lots of creative events planning, they could establish a lively social set. The club name is a bit tongue-in-cheek. It’s made-up from German: Sitz from skiing — a sitzmark is a rut left in the snow from an ungraceful fall; Jibers from sailing — a jibe is when a sailing boat turns its stern through the wind. In other words: Skiers and Sailors. :) Our club does not have a staff and we run on the energy of our members' contribution of their time to host events. We are most interested in recruiting people who will be active volunteers in the planning and running of events. Sitzundjibers values the specific skills and talents that individuals have and we strive to maintain a gender balance when considering candidates for membership in the club. |
