In related news, club members will be jumping in the “Polar Plunge” on New Year’s Day in Fort Frances.

Pledge forms are available from the Lions or Bill Michl in Fort Frances.
Let’s make this year’s “Polar Plunge” the best ever. All you have to do is to be brave enough to jump into Rainy Lake on Jan. 1.
See you there!
