2026 BLA Annual Meeting

August 4, 2026

Dear BLA Members,

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Belgrade Lakes Association's Annual Meeting and Summer Social. With more than 170 members and guests in attendance, this year's gathering was our largest ever; this a wonderful reflection of the passion our community shares for protecting and preserving the Belgrade Lakes.

We appreciate your engagement, thoughtful questions, and continued commitment to our mission. Whether you have been involved for decades or recently became a member, your support strengthens our ability to advocate for our lakes, invest in water quality initiatives, educate the next generation of stewards, and protect the natural resources that make this region so special.

For those who were unable to attend, or for anyone who would like to revisit the information discussed, we have included the meeting presentation for your reference.

A special thank you goes to our generous event sponsors:

Golden Pond Wealth Management

Belgrade Lakes Golf Club

Rita's Catering

Their support helped make this memorable evening possible.

As we look ahead, the work of protecting Great Pond and Long Pond continues every day. Your membership, volunteerism, and charitable support make that work possible, and we are grateful for every investment in our mission.

Thank you again for being part of the Belgrade Lakes Association. We look forward to seeing you on the lakes throughout the remainder of the season.

With appreciation,

Richard LaBelle

BLA President, and your BLA Board of Directors
