struggling bearers all while calling out to inquisitive restaurant goers to keep their heads <br /> down. It's not safe and it's not secure. We both felt there was a huge opportunity for <br /> improvement. <br /> And this leads to our letter of support for a permanent home. <br /> We have a jewel of an asset in Long Lake rowing, a noble sport that has great history, one of <br /> the fastest growing sports in the USA,that aligns to our desires for a low carbon footprint,that <br /> is inclusive across all ages from collegiate to retirement, low impact fitness and great fun. <br /> Here's a 501(c)(3)non-profit organization that supports and enriches the community.Anybody <br /> can partake,the club offers "Learn to Row" sessions through Orono Community Education <br /> and folk might be surprised to discover an inner passion for the sport. We encourage all to try <br /> it. <br /> While Long Lake itself is ideal for rowing, it's also used for many other activities. In the <br /> summer we see kayakers, canoes,paddle boards,powered watercraft,beach goers and more. <br /> In the Winter it's active too, cross country skiing, hockey, ice fishing amongst others. We love <br /> to see all of these sports enjoyed and partake in many of them ourselves. A rowing center in <br /> keeping with the lake can further enhance all users by offering improved lake facilities that <br /> provide a longer term investment for the township and it's patronage. <br /> My wife and I are supporters of Long Lake rowing and what it does for the community. <br /> Working together we believe that a beautiful facility that is safe and secure,that promotes <br /> S activity and is shared within the Summit Beach Park location can be a landmark success for <br /> Orono and it's residents. <br /> We thank you for reading and taking our views into consideration. <br /> Your sincerely, <br /> Colin and Irene Balmforth <br /> 1699 North Farm Rd <br /> Long Lake <br /> MN 55356. <br />
