The Fling into Spring Polar Plunge for Planned Parenthood will be Saturday March 24th, 11:00 AM at the Davis’ boathouse. For those of you who don’t know that is right next to the Essex Ferry on Lake Champlain. We invite fearless friends who plan to plunge to gather pledges for their efforts and thereby support Planned Parenthood Mohawk Hudson. PPMH provides contraceptive services, sex education and support services for victims of sexual assault in Essex County. Or you can pledge NOT to plunge and still help raise funds for a good cause. Participants are invited to stay for lunch afterwards, $25 suggested donation. We hope to see you there!

Register by 3/21/12 to Kathryn Reinhardt. Contact her at 518-374-5353 (x251) or k.reinhardt@ppmhchoices.org.

Or you can go to http://polarplungeforppmh.eventbrite.com/.
