The club was fairly new, and <br />the excitement of all the people learning to row was palpable. In the short time that rowing has been <br />available on Long Lake, the success of the program has been incredible. Several high school athletes <br />have gone on to row in prestigious collegiate programs, many with generous scholarship offers. <br />Perhaps more important though, are the number of people, including my daughter and me, who have <br />been exposed to a wonderful lifetime sport. The Long Lake Rowing Club is a tremendous asset to our <br />community - benefiting both those on the water and those spectating from the comfort of Birch’s. I am <br />completely in support of a better facility and permanent home for the club. <br /> <br />Sandie Berger <br />1150 Old Crystal Bay Road <br />Wayzata, MN. 55391 <br /> <br />Sent from my iPhone <br /> <br /> <br />
