The program is a great community non-profit <br /> organization that provided a great experience for my children. <br /> After rowing several seasons with LLRC our daughter walked on to the rowing team in Madison and <br /> found a community of girls that provide her support and friendship in college. Her experience as a D1 • <br /> athlete will provide lessons and learnings that will help her throughout life. <br /> Our son is a current high school rower and has found a group of hardworking kids that support each <br /> other. The kids learn a sense of responsibility in caring for the boats,the equipment, and the <br /> environment. The coaches have a great approach to teaching many facets of accountability to a diverse <br /> group of teenagers. The team has been very successful at regattas both in the states and in Canada. <br /> Thanks for considering this request, <br /> Joe&Sue Haus <br /> S <br />
