2 Feb 2013 Polar Plunge

For the last 5 years on 2 Feb the Special Olympics has organized a fund raiser,
in which groups or families, sign up to jump in the fridged cold water of Lake Viking.
This was so much fun to watch, we did not jump, of course, but we did volunteer our
time to help with the day.
They raised over $18,000 it was a very sucessful day.  Our special friend Pearce Rash had
over $7,000 donated under his name, for the Special Olympic program.
His mother and father, are a great example of love, service, and compassion.
Enjoy the photo's.
