PARK COMMISSION MINLTTES, OCTOBER 15, 1974 Page 2 Helen Toward and Diane Dunlap, representing NORTH SHORE GYMNASTICS the North Shore Gymnastics Association, CLUB presented the problem the association has in finding space ti�here they can meet an� hold classes. This is a non-profit organization that has around 300 students, most of whom are from the City of Orono. This year they are meeting at the Orono Middle School, but are looking for space to enable them to continue in future years. A discussion followed. The possibility of a new facility is further away than could be considered helpful at this time. Endorsement and/or sponsorship by the Park _Commission might be considered after a stuc� �f the association and the need for gymnastics in the area. Oberhauser moved, Hallowell seconded, the following resolution: The Park Commission feels the gymnastics program is very wDrth while and we feel the Orono School Board should cooperate to the maximum extent to facilitate the program. Motion, Ayes (6) - Nays (0) . The resolution will be presented to the Orono School Board meeting by Oberhauser and Hallowell on November 11, 1974. Peterson, Grandstaff, and Lathrop, representing SNOWMOBILE TRAIL the Long Lake Skip Drifters Snowmobile Club, spoke on the problem of snowmobiling in the City of Orono and ways they are trying to help solve thes� problems. They would like to arrange tr�ils through the SN06+IMOBILE TRAIL City in order to minimize the problem and are willing to work to maintain the trail and/or trails. The trails can be paid for by a grant-in"'aid GRANT-IN-AID PROGRAM program from the State with 65$ coming from the State and 35� from the City.
