Everyone at Gear West loves the rowing club and <br /> sincerely asks that you support the club in their mission to provide an alternative form of fitness and <br /> 41, exercise to youth in the area. <br /> I have been supported Orono rowing since the beginning when the club could only use the Rettinger' <br /> old car wash building. I have seen them respectfully observe the rights of all users of the lake while <br /> growing their sport for both the local youth and for enthusiastic adults who want to improve fitness <br /> and enjoy the water. <br /> Please allow the LLRC To continue to provide outdoor water recreation to those who love rowing, <br /> love the water and enjoy a comradery of outdoor fitness. But to do so they need stability in location <br /> and ease of lake access. For those of us who do not care for motor sports on the lake yet are <br /> respectful to those who do, I ask that you support those who would also like to use the water in <br /> alternative ways. Care will be taken to observe the normal use of beaches and I fully believe there <br /> can be room for all of us lake users who appreciate the water and value the lake front. <br /> Long Lake is not Excelsior and is not Wayzata, but we have the potential and are on our way to <br /> become the"Fitness Hub of the West".With Gear West as one of the premier bike/ski stores in the <br /> Mpls and greater area,with our growing number of Fitness studos,with the wonderful new bike <br /> path thru the town and with our jewel of a lake, Long Lake IS unique.There are very few areas/ <br /> lakes that have the ability to foster and support a rowing club and we should be proud that such a <br /> club exists in our town. Please allow them to grow conservatively in a permanent home. <br /> Thank you <br /> Jan. <br />
