Arctic Plunge is Coming

The Arctic Plunge is fast approaching. I hope everyone will seriously consider supporting this great event. This will be my 4th year jumping and sponsoring. I am so proud of the hard working Committee that puts this all together. I have pulled off a few lines from their website http://www.arcticplunge.com/...


The ARCTIC PLUNGE started in 2002 when Herb Knutson was the first brave soul to jump into the frigid waters of Long Lake to raise money for the Red Cross following the September 11th attacks. The event took off from there! Since 2002 the event has been a huge success raising money for the Isanti Fire Department 2003- 2006 and Isanti County Safety Rescue 2007-2009.

Most recently raising $23,958.72 at the 2008 ARCTIC PLUNGE which was donated to Isanti County Safety Rescue to purchase equipment and upgrade their capabilities.
ARCTIC PLUNGE Inc. is a non profit organization which is made up of seven volunteer board members. With the help of many volunteers and the donations from local businesses the event continues to grow each year.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event or brave enough to take the PLUNGE please contact Carrie at 612.282.6246 or Sue at 763.234.9691.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2009 ARCTIC PLUNGE, March 7th 2009!
Come early and enjoy Vintage Snowmobile Racing www.vintagesnowmobileracing.com
which benefits the LONG LAKE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

At least if you did the plunge today, it would be much warmer then the air by probably 50 degrees.

I still say its nuts to jump into cold water. Better you then me.

I participated in your poll regarding whether or not you should wear a costume but was disappointed that I couldn't vote for what KIND of costume. I'd like to see you go as Spock, Cinderella, or the Energizer bunny.
