To: Orono Parks Commission <br /> <br />Without a doubt, adding a Long Lake Rowing Crew (LLRC) Boathouse will have a profound and positive <br />impact on the Long Lake community and its neighboring communities. <br /> <br />The long-term commitment that LLRC and the Boathouse brings are many. The boathouse will give <br />everyone in the area access to the sport of rowing and access to Long Lake. Providing an opportunity for <br />health and fitness in a low impact setting with high results for all ages in the community and <br />beyond. Communities and neighborhoods benefit greatly from public spaces that include unique <br />regional features such as boathouses. LLRC is committed to be good steward of Long Lake, its water <br />quality and shoreline preservation, (as rowing shells are quiet and no-wake boats.) <br /> <br />The LLRC Boathouse will provide public restrooms for Summit Park, a much needed improvement and <br />will improve everyone’s visit to Summit Park. The presence of the LLRC Boathouse will discourage <br />unwanted activities at the park and offer the sport of rowing to all. Rowing can change lives by <br />promoting fitness, teamwork, leadership and more. <br />As stated in our club vision and mission... <br /> <br />We strive to be the most all-inclusive, fun, and competitive rowing club in the Twin Cities, committed to <br />providing expert instruction, promoting personal and competitive achievement, and enriching our <br />members and community through the sport of rowing. <br /> <br /> <br />We hope this encourages the residents and the Orono Park Commission to get involved in an <br />extraordinary opportunity! Again, LLRC is committed to community service and having the LLRC <br />Boathouse will make an immeasurable positive impact on the city of Long Lake and the Orono Park <br />System. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Margo Hunt & Patrick Donlin <br />Master Rowers <br /> <br /> <br />Sent from my iPhone
