From:Drew Mitchellette <br />To:Adam Edwards <br />Subject:Long Lake Rowing Crew Boathouse 3 <br />Date:Wednesday, February 26, 2020 6:54:45 PM <br />Dear Orono Parks Commission, <br />As a four year member of Long Lake Rowing Crew, I would like to express my support for the creation of a <br />permanent home. Long Lake Rowing Crew has served as an anchor throughout my high school career, and will <br />continue to as I return home each year from college. This fun, inclusive club has positively affected many lives in <br />our community. After spending four years in the rowing community, it has became clear to me that LLRC is <br />recognized at the national level. Members in the rowing community think highly of our club, and therefore bringing <br />positive attention to this town. I have received compliments about the clubs unique and welcoming atmosphere. <br />While rowers have the option of being competitive or recreational, my friends and I have had a blast training here on <br />Long Lake, and then traveling across the county to compete. <br />Establishing a permeant home for Long Lake Rowing Crew would allow us to expand this opportunity to more <br />people in our community. As a resident of Long Lake and graduate of Orono High School, I feel a permanent home <br />would bring positive publicity to these adjoined communities. A boathouse, potentially on Summit Beach, I feel, <br />would create curiosity and excitement among our community. <br />I believe the establishment of a permanent home for Long Lake Rowing Crew would add great value to the <br />communities surrounding Long Lake. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Andrew Mitchellette
