Letter from the President

You might have noticed that you haven't heard from us for a while. BATCO has undergone some big changes in the past year or so, but I'm pleased to announce that we are alive and well!

The biggest change is that Eric Vogelsberg has stepped down as President of BATCO, after serving on the Board since the our founding in 1996. We are all grateful to Eric for his huge contribution to BATCO over the years. We are pleased to welcome Peter Bakwin to the Board. Peter is an organizer of Boulder Trail Runners, and has worked on City and County Open Space issues for several years. He is very familiar with the trails and the politics!

BATCO took a big step forward organizationally in 2007, as we were granted 501(c)(3) status, so that all contributions are now tax deductible. It's good to be "official"!

Please join us on May 21 as we celebrate our second decade. Help us figure out how to become even more effective.

We welcome new members, and urge YOU to become actively involved in BATCO and in trail advocacy. We look forward to hearing from you in 2008!

Guy Burgess, President
