Ray Melanson of Next Monitoring sent us this email:
Hello Everyone,
Join me Sunday as we kick off the New Year with a Polar Plunge! We can all agree there may have been difficult times in 2011, but we have much to be thankful for. Volunteers and people in our field make a difference in peoples’ lives everyday and jumping into the freezing cold waters is nothing in comparison to the dedication, commitment and strength of those who care enough to help others on a daily basis. I will attend as a reminder to all those who make a difference in our community.
You know you thought about it, so now is your chance! JOIN ME!
While we at Beacon AFC have to admire Ray and his courage (after all, the guy jumped out of a plane earlier this year for charity), we’ll be watching from the beach where it’ll be warm and dry. All the best to Ray for helping this worthy cause!
