BETA's Annual Meeting Returns in 2025
The Barkeater Trails Alliance (BETA) Annual Meeting will be on Saturday, May 10, from 5pm to 8pm, at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, 17 Algonquin Drive, Lake Placid. Everyone with an interest in community trails for mountain biking and skiing is welcome to join this free event. Light fare and a complimentary drink will be provided.
We are so excited to bring back our Annual Meeting for the first time since 2020. A lot has changed since then (from BETA to the world at large), but some things remain the same -- our deep, lasting appreciation for the support of our community and our unwavering commitment to the ski and mountain bike trails that connect us to one another and make this region remarkable. Please do us the honor of joining us for an evening to celebrate these constants: our community and our commitment, all rooted in the extraordinary legacy of the trails.
The meeting’s theme "Past, Present, and Future" will start with a nod to the organization’s foundational goals, key players, and early successes. Board President Patrick Carey will give an overview of the state of BETA’s trail systems and share highlights about the trail building and maintenance work scheduled for this summer; Executive Director Glenn Glover will share his vision for the long term future of BETA.
The meeting provides an opportunity for BETA supporters, board members, staff, volunteers, and members of the public to get together to celebrate local trails and kick off the mountain bike season. Everyone with an interest in community trails for mountain biking and skiing is welcome to join this free event. Light fare and a complimentary drink will be provided.
Bring your friends, bring your questions, and bring your enthusiasm for local trails.
The work we do is possible thanks to people like you. Thank you for your support; we look forward to seeing you on May 10th.
