Sunny has erpanded her "family-"and <br /> we have gained new friends, have seen new and different places on the map, and get the <br /> tremendous honor of watching her grow,push, and stretch herself under the guidance of <br /> Coach Nicholas. Providing she and other local youth and adults fitness and wellness <br /> opportunities is important for the growth and vitality of our small town. One thing 1 <br /> appreciate most is due to it being a club versus a district sport, Long Lake then attracts <br /> rowers from Minnetonka, Wayzata. Benilde. Blake, Breck, and beyond. <br /> The niche that LLRC has carved out is making its mark. Community members light up in <br /> conversation when they find out we are involved with this grioup. They are excited to hear <br /> what the rowers are up to and that we've got a space to utilize via Birches in which to <br /> • congregate. <br /> The downside is that as a club we've got no space to call home or expand into. The result is <br /> inconsistencies in training, movement and time waste in hauling and storing equipment, and <br /> not a chance at bringing a real time regatta to Long Lake. <br /> To establish a home base for this group enables LLRC to provide programming that could be <br /> open to anyone in the community who wants to participate and have access to the lake. It also <br /> opens the opportunity for LLRC to stand tall and proud in its role as a community partner, <br /> wherein community service opportunities are open to all members. <br /> Our family has launched many a paddle board excursion from Summit Beach. We've taken our <br /> kids to this cleaner side of the lake for years to swim and enjoy the rope swing. It's a smaller <br /> beach that provides a more intimate sense of connection to neighbors. The only downside to <br /> this park is the unkempt nature of the area. More parking, n clean boathouse,picnic area, <br /> and well groomed/outlined beach with a dock would be a lovely and well received addition to <br /> our community. <br /> Nichole Hirsch Kuechle <br /> My Healthy Beginning <br /> Clinical Master, Nutrition Response Testing <br /> SPSYCH-K® Facilitator <br /> - nichitdmvhealthvbeginning.com <br />
