Polar Plunge preregistration event Jan. 14

[February 04, 2010]  It is time to "plunge" into the new year! For individuals interested in taking the Polar Plunge into Lincoln Lakes on March 20, there will be a registration sign-up event at the Lincoln Knights of Columbus Hall, 217 Limit St., on Jan.14 from 7 to 9 p.m. The Law Enforcement Polar Plunge benefits the athletes of Special Olympics.
