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