Of course this will be great for the club, but even more than that, what a unique <br />opportunity for Long Lake and the little known and used park. <br /> <br />The LLRC has grown into a respected community oriented program where kids and adults alike can learn <br />to row, and have the chance to compete at the most prestigious regatta’s, here and abroad if they so <br />desire. A graceful sport that for residents and visitors to the lake can be mesmerizing to watch, and of <br />course it doesn’t involve loud motors. <br /> <br />With this email I respectfully ask for your support. This is a perfect fit as Long Lake continues to evolve <br />and improve. I grew up in Orono and moved to Long Lake in high school. I graduated from Orono as <br />have all three of my kids. My mother was the long-time elementary principle. This is a community I <br />know well. I truly hope the commission embraces this opportunity to support and benefit from this <br />community, non-profit club that is open to all who wish to learn, compete or just admire and observe. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Craig <br />Craig Bongart <br />763.607.2175 <br /> <br />Sent from my iPad <br /> <br /> <br />
