With weather being an issue for so much of the year in Minnesota - we <br />know the difference it will make for youth groups to have access to turf and a track <br />where cleats can be worn. <br />The Orono School District is working to make referendum dollars stretch as far as <br />possible so that all of the facility needs and wants from various groups can be met. <br />If our project is selected to receive a Hennepin County Youth Sports grant – it will <br />help us meet all these diverse needs and be a wonderful addition to an outstanding <br />facility. <br />The deadline to submit the grant is the first week in November so we are requesting <br />all letters of support by Nov. 1 if possible. A sample letter of support is attached. <br />Feel free to edit. <br />Please submit your letter or contact either of us with questions regarding this <br />project. John Morstad is the lead contact for questions on the building construction <br />and scheduling. Melanie DeLuca is assisting John with grant writing and <br />programming. <br /> <br />Thank you! <br /> <br /> <br />John Morstad, 952-449-8306, jmorstad@orono.k12.mn.us <br />Melanie DeLuca, 952-449-8351, mdeluca@orono.k12.mn.us <br /> <br />
