Prior Lake Rotarians gathered at Sandpoint Beach on Saturday, February 18, to to take the plunge for Special Olympics Minnesota in the Polar Plunge. The 50 degree plus weather did not warn up the lake. Rotarians Harry Algyer, Paul Hofslien, Manny Perez, Paul Perez, Doug Scalia, and Guy Selinske, and Youth Exchange Student Peang (Kittiphum Thanomthin) along with his host dad Tom Rykken, jumped as a team. Overall the team raised $3,793, which placed us 6th overall for any team! Thank you to everyone who sponsored us! Your pledges will give more than 8,100 athletes the opportunity to participate in the Athlete Leadership and Healthy Athletes Programs, work at the Special Olympics Minnesota state office, and best of all, train and compete in a variety of sports all year.
