Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

 To the editor:Thank you for
your past participation in the Lincoln Polar Plunge that benefits
Special Olympics Illinois. I’m writing to inform you that Lincoln
will not be hosting a Polar Plunge for 2018. Instead, we will be
focusing efforts on a Re-Structure that will be happening throughout
the Special Olympics Illinois organization. We would like to take
this time to thank all the sponsors, volunteers, media and plungers
for their past support. The Lincoln Polar Plunge has provided many
athletes with the resources and the opportunity to train and compete
in the sports they are so passionate about.
As we look to the 2018 Polar Plunge Season, we hope you will join us
at one of the surrounding area Polar Plunge sites; Springfield,
Decatur or Bloomington – which is located less than 30 miles from
the Lincoln Polar Plunge site. (See attached map with locations.)
All funds raised from each Polar Plunge directly support the 22,500
Special Olympics Illinois athletes competing statewide.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
 I am talking with the coaches of the Lincoln
Special Olympic athletes to coordinate a local fundraiser and will
be sending out information soon regarding this event.
If you are interested in continuing to supporting the athletes of
Logan County, please contact our Region I Home office in Decatur
located at:
1950 N. Water St.
Decatur, IL 62526
Thank you again for your continued support! We
hope to see you this Plunge Season or at one of the local Logan
County Special Olympic fundraisers.

Region I Director
